The Enchanted Legacy of Elizabeth Marchand
About the book
When single mother Elizabeth Marchand inherits a rare, centuries-old grimoire and an ancient Celtic ring her stressful world fractures to reveal a staggering secret- she is the next in a sacred, sixteen-generation maternal bloodline of earth-based magic. Seeking sanctuary from her toxic past, she retreats with her intuitive young daughter to a historic New England town, to find herself drawn into a protective circle of local hedge witches and a lineage older than the town itself. Perfect for fans of Practical Magic and ancestral mythology, this spellbinding contemporary fantasy follows one woman’s journey to unlock her blossoming elemental powers and heal her family’s restless spirit.

About the author
I write fantasy about women who discover that the stories their grandmothers told them may not have been stories after all. My books blend folklore, inherited magic, family secrets, and contemporary life—with women who have accumulated enough years and experience to know that discovering magic doesn't make the ordinary complications of life disappear. Before turning my attention to fiction, I spent much of my career in higher education, where I learned that people are considerably more complicated than any character a novelist could invent. That probably explains why I'm as interested in what magic does to people and relationships as I am in the magic itself. I write as Deborah Griffin Hawke. The Enchanted Legacy of Elizabeth Marchand begins my Lore of the Grandmothers series, followed by The Secrets of the Thistle & Shield. If you like folklore that wanders into the present day, old family mysteries, female friendships, a little danger, and the occasional small dog who may be considerably more than he appears, you'll probably feel at home in my books.
