Despite the outside world's best efforts to suppress it, the magical lineage of the Weyward women finds a way to the surface in each and every generation.
This story expertly weaves together three Weywards over three centuries. As each woman learns about her ancestors and their ties to the natural world, they find that even with the wide expanse of time between them, they share an all-too-common bond of trauma at the hands of men.
This beautiful book is about finding buried pieces of self, inner strength and fortitude, and using both magical and nonmagical methods to thrive in the world. The Weyward legacy, in spite of its roots in sorrow and pain, is filled with hope and love.
