Helpful Score: 1

This books is very reminiscent of the movie version of Practical Magic (which is a great deal different from the book), however I found it to be much better. The characters in this book grow, evolve, and are not afraid to say they are sorry. The sisters are much more mature with a story line that shapes and explains their decisions. The only overt 'magic' is the tree, the rest of the so called spells are nothing more than small town expectations and folklore.

The writing did not remind me of Alice Hoffman, possibly because I don't really care for most of Alice Hoffman's writing.

A very quick, enjoyable read, I will be looking for more from this author.
