I loved this book! Books about witches are numerous and popular right now,but this one is different. It contains lots of magic, but even more about family relationships . Very well written and charming, fun to read.

Quotes by Gail Cleare (?)

“Mary looked forward to easier communication with his spirit now that the body was out of the way—even easier than when his mind and body were still one and healthy, because after he had met God, she felt sure he had attained a much better understanding of what it was to be human.”

Gail’s Quotes

“I stood with my hands on the horses' necks, feeling the electricity of their thinking, the blood moving throughout their veins, and the history held neatly within the fabric of every organ of their equine anatomy, as if the body were a storage unit of memory. As I absorbed every nuance of the four-legged creatures, I touched my own stomach, lower back, liver, and spleen to see what the energies felt like. I compared one horse to another, then to myself, fascinated by the way each was so unique yet so the same.”
― Bethanne Elion, Memoirs of the Bathtub Psychic - The True Story of a Clairvoyant and Her Dogs
