Through space and time, sisters entwined. Lost then found, souls remain bound. Three sisters escape the Salem witch trials when the eldest casts a spell that hurtles their souls forward through time. After centuries separated, fate has finally reunited them in the present day. One the healer, one the teacher, and one the deceiver. Will their reunion return their full powers, or end their soul's journey forever?

Poorly Written, Poorly Read!
Revisado: 09-28-17
While the premise of the book has great potential, it seems to be written by someone with limited writing skill that occasionally throws in a large word to prove she knows a few. The audio reader is horrible and even uses the wrong word, or mispronounces even some of the simpler words. At one point the story and reader were so bad I literally had to stop the audio book because I was laughing so hard I didn't get what they were saying.
The story is that of three sister witches who are cast into multiple reincarnated lives and must find each other through time while battling unseen forces. It switches between the witch trials and current time, only to throw in a few random years. More than once the story literally repeats itself verbatim for a few paragraphs. The "romance" that is thrown in, is often little more than a chance to be explicit enough about sex to interest middle school girls. It would have made for a stronger feminist story to have left that out. At times it seems as if the author knows much about Wicca, but then she occasionally makes mistakes, leaving the reader to wonder. One of the dates she gives, that of the small pox vaccine, is off by many years. One can only assume that she is writing for children who would either not know such things, or not care to look it up.
This is the first in a two series book, with the second book leaving things hanging for a third. Overall, if you can get past the cheesy writing and bad reading, it is an acceptable storyline. Sad, because this book produces on of the best feminist lines ever, “We are the granddaughters of the witches you weren’t able to burn.”

What happens when a young child is traumatized? How does terror affect a child's mind---and how can that mind recover? Child psychiatrist Bruce Perry has treated children faced with unimaginable horror: genocide survivors, witnesses to their own parents' murders, children raised in closets and cages, the Branch Davidian children, and victims of family violence. In The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog, he tells their stories of trauma and transformation.

Good Book for Those Working with Children

This book gives a variety of case studies that assist the readers in understanding the link to childhood behavior and trauma. The readers voice fits with the book and makes listening to difficult stories easier.
