The Pointy Hat Brigade
Divorce, meddling mothers…and witches. What could possibly go wrong?
Allie Hartford has made a terrible discovery. Her husband of six years and the father of their young son has committed numerous infidelities. But she soon uncovers something even worse, and now it looks as though the daunting task of attaining a peaceful divorce is going to be the least of her problems.
Maisie Hall is a modest Fire witch who is comfortable in her life as a quilter, and happy as wife to the sweetest grumpy man in town. When a premonition visits her in the wee hours of the morning, she heeds its call, but has no idea just how much that vision is going to turn her life upside down.
And no one in their little town of Bella Terra, Oregon is ready for the arrival of Allie’s mother – the force of nature that is Vivian Stafford.
Allie must reach deep inside to find the strength she needs to reclaim her life and her freedom, but she’s tapped into more than she bargained for this time, and much more than she is prepared to meet alone.
