To say it isn't the best of times for the unconventional Harmony Drake would be an understatement. Losing her mother and her job at the onset of the pandemic, she later learns plans are afoot to destroy the beloved forest beside her trailer park home to make room for a luxury condo complex. Complicating things even more is the unruly magic swirling in and around her. With her life turned upside down, can she ever make it right again? Harmony's surprising journey takes her one mystical step after the other into the supernatural world of her ancestor, Mother Barnes, the Witch of Plum Hollow.
Awakening is a light-hearted story of self-discovery. It is about finding strength in family ties and nurturing the powers inside to achieve one's goals.
"Awakening is a fast-paced and fun fantasy that had me engaged from the start. The author writes in a highly accessible style that brings her characters to life on the page."
— Don Trowden, author of the Normal People series
