Everyday Magic

Granny magic has gone out of style. The year is 1947 and Sydney Wagstaff's youthful love has returned from the war to tiny Whippoorwill Corners looking for peace and an ordinary life in the small rural Oklahoma community where he grew up. He has a lingering affection for the girl he called 'Blue Eyes' but is taken aback to find that she too has changed and is now a dignified old maid school teacher about whom the community is whispering. People are saying that one of the three Wagstaff sisters--Sydney, Airdrie or Cairo--is a witch, having inherited the ancient everyday magic of their female ancestors that sustained the community back in the hill country in Kentucky, in the Texas years and even before that in the old country. But this is a modern world of doctors and scientists with no place for herbal remedies and old time mysticism. Still Lucas finds himself struck dumb when he once again encounters the magical oldest daughter of the Wagstaff clan.

First book in the Three Sisters trilogy. By the author of the Lavender, Texas series and The House Near the River.
