About this Event
1650: Mary Hatley, a secret healer, longs for a life far from her childhood farm. One star-strewn night, she and her forbidden love escape to London, finding solace working in an apothecary shop where she can hide her true nature. Though she’s determined to create a legacy that will protect women like her for generations to come, Mary’s unconventional path harbors peril she never could have imagined.
1692: When Clara Brooks is accused of witchcraft at the height of the Salem witch trials, she escapes deep into the wilderness with her young daughter in tow. Their only hope of survival is the gift Clara has long kept at bay—a deep and intrinsic connection to the natural world—and a mysterious woman who keeps disappearing into the edge of the woods.
1959: July Hathaway, once an aspiring medical student with a hidden power of healing, is now a single parent struggling in a world that disavows unwed mothers. To protect her daughter from imminent danger, July flees to a remote island in the Pacific Northwest, where she discovers the truth about the outcast women who preceded her, and soon realizes that—for better or for worse—her fate hinges on releasing them all from the burden they share.
With lyrical prose and captivating characters, this riveting tale is a story of love, courage, and motherhood, as three women across history test the bonds of magic running through them all.
Kristin Judd is captivated by the often unsung roles of women in history. A former teacher, she holds a BA in English from the University of Washington and a master's in teaching from Western Washington University. Kristin lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and two children.
