Cajun or Creole, hoodoo or who does
This is a story of a young girl named Josie who had travelled the world with her mother. This young girl discovers her powers in a time of danger. She has returned to the land of her mother and grandmother. Her MawMaw is a very lively lady, possessing powers beyond what is considered normal. Th young girl gets a job with a neighbor, Miriam, one who has bound animals to her, controlling their movement, binding them out of a desire to be in control. In the end the animals are able to speak to Josie and she leans they were humans, turned into animals by the evil Miriam. Does good win over evil? What cost is salvation? What good is power if you lose your soul? A very nice novel. Thank you Goodreads

Good. Story
For all of the twists and turns of the Golden Thread, for all its violence it is still a gentle tale of seventeen year old Josie coming of age as a young woman and a witch. It draws one in with a curious group of characters that create a real world of fantasy. My only complaint is the need for editing. Not as bad as some but still annoying.

Good storyline
Some extra editing would have been nice. Story was good. Cajun fantasy fiction was a new one for me. Liked the characters.
