Green Witch

Green Witch by Hoffman, Alice. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780545141956.

What is loss? It is the devastating echo that surrounds the word gone. It is no longer being able to hold the thing you once held. It is the fading memory. It is an emptiness on the outside that connects to an emptiness on the inside. What is grief? It is the feeling of that echo. It is still trying to hold on to the thing you once held. It is grasping for that memory. Is it that emptiness, in human terms. What do you do? In her spellbinding novel, Alice Hoffman shows us how loss and grief can be transformed into action, love, and hope. It is the tale of Green, who must learn to open herself up to others in a post-disaster world. To do so, she must collect the stories of a number of "witches"...and continue to write her own. For readers who loved Green Angel, this book draws readers back into the world of Green as she continues to heal. And for new readers, it presents a stand-alone exploration of how we confront the things we fear the most--minute by minute, day by day, year by year.
