Bethany Ainsworth (bethany-ainsworth) | 13 comments I read it a few years ago.

It had a prologue about a wife and husband who moved into a small town. The town hated a witch who lived in the woods nearby, but the witch was very friendly and invited the couple for dinner. The wife went many times and grew to like her, but the husband wanted to fit into the town, so she had to break the friendship between her and the witch. Because of this the wife's baby was cursed to have visions when looking into reflections.

Then the actual book starts, the baby now older, and is shunned by most of the town because of her visions. But then she has a vision of a boy lost in the witch's woods, so she goes into the woods to save him. She finds him being helped by a witch. Then she trys to question the witch but (and I remember this exactly) almost gets trapped in a fire circle but the witch saves her.

I remember that the witch's house was invisible unless you circled around a willow tree a few times.

The Girl also had a crush on this guy from town who pretends to like her back, because he thought that the girl was with the witch, and he wanted to capture the witch to show the town how cool he is.

The girl meets with the witch every few days to help train her to control her powers, (there's a whole thing with a door in her head that she should never open?), but eventually she convinces the town to hold a trial for the witch to show that she really is innocent. (I think it takes place around 1700s-1800s), but the girl has a vision of her town being destroyed.

(view spoiler)

TLDR: Psycic girl meets witch who trains her, gets betrayed by her boyfriend, defends the witch, (view spoiler)
