Debora Geary has once again written an amazing, heartwarming, and delightful novel. We are once again thrust back into the witching community - and we're crashing in on Nova Scotia this time. Marcus - an old curmudgeon that can't seem to get anyone to leave him alone - lost his twin at five years old. He's hefted the guilt on his shoulders for decades. Nowadays? He's in a tiny village surrounded by family and babies. Lots of babies. And kids. And memories.A gold covered messenger delivers a cryptic line or two meant for Marcus (the old curmudgeon)...and it involves him becoming a father.I can't speak enough of how much I adore the community of witches that the author has created! They're heartwarming, friendly, and full of good intentions (if not the most graceful deliveries). Her books are NOT filled with sex and cheap gimmicks. They ARE filled with wonderfully developed characters that grow with each passing page, and with storyline development that makes the reader take a few moments after finishing the novel to compose themselves and re-acclimate to "real life".I love ALL of Debora Geary's writings...and sincerely hope that you will as well. Her books are part of a series but each one can stand alone as well. Not sure why you would to do that because you'll be rushing to purchase the other ones!!
