Front Cover
Kallisto Gaia Press, Feb 11, 2025 - Fiction - 188 pages

While haunted by a violent past, the life that took her so long to rebuild is in jeopardy when Lissa's ex-husband is released from prison. Both Lissa and her mother, a retired psychologist, become convinced that the only way to move forward is to get rid of him. While Lissa turns to the very magic her partner warned her would come with dire repercussions, her mother has a more pragmatic plan in mind. This is a story about strength and power, magic and community, and what it takes to learn to trust the voice within.
