A must-read for “practical Magic” fans, this enchanting story blends curses, sisterhood, and the power of plants with themes of generational Trauma, Family, and community.
Liz shares insights into the 13-year curse central to the story, the sentient house that shapes the narrative, and how her background in herbalism informs the magic woven throughout the book.
