The Honey Witch (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781536830743)

How Willy survived the first six years of her life in the woods is a mystery. Some say she was raised by a colony of bees, surviving on honey, berries and acorns. Others presume she was raised by a deadbeat mom who abandoned her child and still others think she is a runaway who quickly learned to fend for herself. No one knows for certain. Reluctantly extricated from an enchanting Wisconsin forest by hiking honeymooners Maya and Abe, Willy is subsequently placed in numerous foster homes. She longs to be with mothers, to surround herself by loving women who need her just as much as she needs them. At first, the freckled girl with ruby hair charms potential foster parents with her imaginative stories. They all fall under her spell but are blind to the inevitable calamity coming. Willy's premonition-filled dreams forecast her future and provide her with direction, as she struggles to understand the purpose of insight. After a broken string of foster homes, Willy is adopted by Bernadette and Paul Williams. Ominous dreams follow, forcing the little witch to keep her current mother at arm's length. As her extraordinary abilities grow, she struggles to control and conceal them. Initially intriguing classmates with her peculiar behavior, Willy quickly becomes a target. They claim she is a witch that can command the elements; bend the wind to her whim, pull bolts of lightning from the sky, and transmute into a bee. They are confused and awe-stricken by her manipulation of the weather and her divine ability to resurrect lifeless animals. Fear replaces curiosity and Willy is accused of witchcraft, finding herself at the center of a modern day witch hunt.
