Even worse, the guild has a secret, one it’s willing to kill to protect. As Velik comes closer to uncovering the truth, what looks like coincidence might be calculated moves to erase him.

Five generations. One magical scrapbook. She struggled to find her voice--until she heard theirs. Moving in the middle of the school year is tough—especially when you add frizzy red hair, freckles, and an outdated family name no one can pronounce. Eleven-year-old Roisin (row-sheen) knows this all too well. Within the chaos is one constant—her maternal grandmother, Gran. While unpacking, Roisin finds a scrapbook. From the tingle that moves up her arm when she touches it to Gran’s explanation when she asks about it, Roisin discovers this is no ordinary book.

Three women. Three losses. One sanctuary that changes everything. When Tiffany, Charlotte, and Heather buy an old farmhouse nestled in the quiet hills of New England, they hope to rescue animals-and perhaps themselves. Each carries a private grief: a sudden loss, a life unraveled, a heart still searching for meaning. Together they begin to rebuild, creating a haven for creatures in need and discovering comfort in simple rhythms-the bleat of a goat at dawn, the rustle of wings, the hush of twilight settling over the fields. But the land has a memory.

When Trisha Low moves West, her journey is motivated by the need to arrive “somewhere better” - someplace utopian, like revolution; or safe, like home; or even clarifying, like identity. Instead, she faces the end of her relationships, a family whose values she has difficulty sharing, and America’s casual racism, sexism, and homophobia. In this book-length essay, the problem of how to account for one’s life comes to the fore - sliding unpredictably between memory, speculation, self-criticism, and art criticism, Low seeks answers that she knows she won’t find.
