Author: Jessica Lourey

"Think Alice Hoffman...spell-binding." ?Midwest Book Review — Told in a majestic mosaic of strong women's voices, The Catalain Book of Secrets weaves together alchemy, hope, tragedy, and true love to spin a tale in the style of Garden Spells, A Discovery of Witches, and Practical Magic. An intoxicating, epic, one-sitting read. — Faith Falls is a s... more »nug little Minnesota town constructed over a mystery, a place where the most impressive building is a gorgeous Queen Anne with turrets, cantilevered gables, and a wraparound porch. In a concealed room beneath the Queen Anne's twisting stairs lies the Book of Secrets, the repository of the wisdom the Catalain women have gathered since the beginning of time.

Ursula Catalain, current keeper of the Book of Secrets, is content to concoct spells in her garden cottage until the ghost of the man she murdered appears at her door in a new form?that of a wickedly sexy bluesman. His return pulls Jasmine, Ursula's daughter, back into the fold. Once the most powerful of the Catalains, Jasmine foreswore her gift and her family to bury a shameful secret.

But the bluesman's true target is beautiful Katrine, Ursula's youngest. She ran all the way to London to escape her Catalain gift. When the sinister, seductive magic of the bluesman lures her home to have his revenge, the clashing Catalain women must band together or lose themselves forever.

BONUS: Includes exquisitely-illustrated pages from the ancient Book of Secrets.
