Be Careful What You Witch For
How far would you go to save a child who hates you?
The priest says it’s a lack of discipline. The doctor says it’s magic; the village witch says it couldn’t be. The wild tempers that seize my daughter have left us no choice–Renault and I can’t live like this anymore. Only the enchantress who lives up the mountain, famous for extracting expensive Favors from her supplicants, can help us now.
But the dangers of the road north and the encroaching winter weather may make reaching her impossible…and since his cousin just showed up to claim our farm, I really need him back tout suite.
When Renault’s letters stop coming, I’m forced to assume the worst has happened. But I don’t carry a knife in my skirt pockets for nothing…how far would I go for my daughters?
It’s time to find out.

“I was unprepared to find myself immersed in a re-experience of my life parenting a child who I didn’t understand, whose thought processes were so complex and different to mine. I wish I’d read this book while she was young, so I could have known then to look for the magic inside her! (We slowly learned about each other and now we are very close, but earlier would’ve been better for us both). This book is rich with nuanced and abiding relationships, was hard to put down, and left me with a hunger to read more from this author.” -susannanz, Goodreads
"Be Careful What You Witch For is a beautiful tale about magic, love, family, and neurodivergence. The prose is stunningly beautiful, the love story between the parents is gorgeous, and little Alya is a character I cannot wait to read about again as she grows and matures. Five stars, and eager for the next volume!" -Quenby Olson, author of Miss Percy's Pocket Guide to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons
