Amazon.com description: Product Description: Magical realism meets contemporary fantasy in this tale of two sisters bound by their mother's gift--a legacy of magic...When Toni Beauchamp's mother died, she and her sister Candy thought it meant a new beginning, a life free of magic. But Elena Beauchamp had one last gift for her daughter--a sip from the Mockingbird Cordial. And the moment Toni held the drink to her lips, her life would never be the same...
"Stephen King meets Ibsen. Trust me."-- Neal Stephenson
"A wonderfully vivid and unexpected blend of magic realism and finely-observed contemporary experience."-- William Gibson
"One of the most enjoyable books of the year."-- San Francisco Chronicle
"Humor and a Southern sauciness...[Stewart's] poignant take on voodoo among middle-class women makes for delicious fun."-- Publishers Weekly
"A gentle, funny, affirming novel...Sean Stewart writes beautifully and affectionately about this family and their acquaintances, friends, and business partners. Like a poet with a cattle prod, he crafts his phrasing carefully, then rocks the reader back on his heels with an insight or an insult."-- San Diego Union-Tribune
"Stewart writes about magic as if it were an everyday occurrence, with its own rules and reasons."-- New York Times Book Review
