This book could have been about 100 pages shorter. It did not need all the backstory about Jack’s mother being a saint. Just unnecessary. 
However, I loved the witch aspect and how it played out in the girls lives. 
It was such an interesting story focusing on how our past can affect our present and future. I really loved the lawyer and his sons dynamic and the tidbit where he was helping his dad fall back in love. 
The outcome of the trial was completely unbelievable based on the evidence given to the jury.
