SOMETIMES A WOMAN DOES WHAT SHE HAS TO DO TO PROTECT HER FAMILY.Peggy Lynch has too many children and too much to do.

She's married to an uneducated Irish immigrant twelve years her junior, and has to work two jobs to help make ends meet. In between the carpools, the laundry, and the food shopping, she also has to make sure her youngest son takes his ADHD medicine so he doesn't flunk out of high school. Maybe if her lazy husband would get off his ass and help around the house, she'd have time to connect with her children and be the type of mother they deserve. But Peggy lacks that luxury because if it wasn't for her, the whole family would fall to pieces.Years have passed since Peggy ruled the house and Veronica is no longer her mother's obedient little girl. Moving into her childhood home with her husband and infant twins, she's starting a new life and should finally be happy. Right? Wrong.While cleaning out her old bedroom, Veronica finds a letter from her deceased mother. If Veronica were smart she'd burn it and leave her family secrets buried with the dead.

TWO POWERFUL WITCHES. TWO POWERFUL NOVELLAS IN ONE BOOK SEE MEFiona Morrissey learned from an early age not to trust her magical powers and certainly not to trust the spirits her "gifts" allowed her to see. Mama always said, "Spirits may act like they are giving you something, but they will take from you a hundredfold anything they give you. Spirits always want something and are not to be trusted." Being a good girl, Fiona followed her mother's advice and for years steered clear of spirits and magic. That is until the spirit of gorgeous John Callahan, Fiona's ex-boyfriend and the only man she ever truly loved, decided to camp outside her door. Now Fiona must decide, can she trust the spirit of her beloved boyfriend or was John like all the other selfish and dangerous spirits her mother warned her about? FOLLOW MEDNA is destiny. Or is it?Nell Donahue was born an echo witch - a weak witch with just enough magic in her to read the tea leaves of bored suburban housewives. Nell's spent her life envying her more gifted sister and chasing magical powers she could never attain until an unexpected trip to hell increased Nell's abilities ten-fold. Now Nell has more powers than she ever dreamed of. She's also being haunted by the ghost of a slain college student, threatened by a pack of semi-human demon-worshipping ghouls and harassed by a brawny detective who's awakened something in unlucky-in- love Nell that she'd much prefer remained dormant. Too late to return to her status as an echo witch, Nell must learn to harness her enhanced powers before she loses everything, including her heart.

"In this novel, Bernadette Walsh depicts reality shows so, well, realistically that it left me laughing out loud. All the behind-the-scenes plotting, scheming, and planning was just as I've always thought reality shows would be. I think there's a bit of Kate in all of us."
