With echoes of the alchemy of "Practical Magic," the lushness of "Saving CeeCee Honeycutt," and the darkly joyful wickedness of the "Witches of East End," Ellen Herrick's debut novel spins an enchanting love story about a place where magic whispers just beneath the surface and almost anything is possible, if you aren't afraid to listen. Granite Point is consumed by a long-buried fear - and its three hundred year old history resurfaces as a modern day witch-hunt threatens. The plants and flowers, fruit trees and high hedges begin to wither and die, and the entire town begins to fail; fishermen return to the harbor empty-handed, and blight descends on the old elms that line the lanes.
