The Gifts of Our Mothers

In the dark woods I’m forbidden to go into, lying on top of the one person I swore I’d stay away from, and hiding from the men who chased him, I hold still as Ike Kennedy whispers in my ear, “Don’t leave me.”The questions of why my mother packed up our lives and moved us to Auburn, New Jersey when she, herself, fled here twenty years ago, plague me every day. Her past and the people in this town loom over our family with a haunting understanding of the coven I was born into, but realize I know nothing about. The enemies I heard stories about as a child attack without warning or regard for human life, but I don’t know who they are.I’m Ever Ayars. I can fly. I can disappear.

In a town where everyone knows each other, figuring out who is an evil witch should be simple. Yet, the witches of Auburn are surrounded by men and women whose honor they question. The cafeteria lady at the high school, the pastor’s wife, a dog walker at the park … the seemingly benign citizens of New Jersey can no longer be trusted.When Helene Ayars reunites with the man she’s been inexplicably drawn to since her youth, she abandons the memories of her prior poor choices in love and follows her heart. She and her daughter, Ever, will ignore their nagging suspicions, palpable evidence, and the voice of every witch they trust except the ones that speak from the dead. When their coven’s enemies attack too close to home, Helene must make a choice—trust her heart or stay true to the sisters who are pieces of her soul.
