Witches weave curses out of words; the less you use âem, the more powerful they are. Blessings are weakerâbut you can use them more often, wear them in like shoes.
Judithâs red-headed granddaughter Molly, also a witch, curses her way through life, and now look at herâpregnant, a widow, and an adulteress with the spirit of a mountain to boot. Not that Judith can complain; itâs only been time thatâs worn off her own rough edges. And what else is a grandmother to do, but love her grandbaby?
Now itâs time for the baby to be born, to a powerful witch who canât be touched by painkillers, with a father whoâs being strip-mined by a company town, in a cabin at the top of the sky, and a midwife whoâs tired of the drama.
What else could possibly go wrong?
And of course there has to be a storm rolling inâŚ
