Aura Lib/E: A Memoir
Aura is more than a memoir--it's a spell book for survival, a powerful promise from mother to son, and an intimate examination of power, spirituality, and the abuse of both.
Hillary Leftwich weaves together the stories of her life to create startlingly raw memories that are both personal and profoundly universal. She explores the devastating impact of patriarchy in her own life while searching for answers in witchcraft, womanhood, and motherhood. Urgently portrayed and deeply felt, Aura is a complex tapestry of letters, spells, and memories. Her story is a vivid confrontation against an unforgiving world that traps women and children in the systems meant to save them. This is a story for seekers, searchers, and anyone in the process of saving themselves and their loved ones.

Aura: A memoir
Leftwich has opened a vein and bled beautifully and powerful onto the page. This memoir simultaneously explains how smart and strong women get caught in the web of domestic violence while showing how a mother's love can free them from the bonds that bind. Her writing is both lyrical and lovely and brutally honest. A must read for men and women alike.
