From the New York Times bestselling author of Love & Gelato comes a poignant and beguiling
(Publishers Weekly starred review) novel about two teens trying to find their place in the
world after being unceremoniously dragged to Salem Massachusetts for the summer. Willow has
never felt like she belonged anywhere and is convinced that the only way to find a true home is
to travel the world. But her plans to act on her dream are put on hold when her aloof and often
absent mother drags Willow to Salem Massachusetts to wrap up the affairs of an aunt Willow
didn't even know she had. An aunt who may or may not have been a witch. There she meets Mason
a loner who's always felt out of place and has been in and out of foster homes his entire life.
He's been classified as one of the runaways constantly searching for ways to make it back to
his mom even if she can't take care of him it's his job to try and take care of her. Isn't
it? Naturally pulled to one another Willow and Mason set out across Salem to discover the
secret past of Willow's mother her aunt and the ambiguous history of her family. During all
of this the two can't help but act on their connection. But with the amount of baggage between
them-and Willow's growing conviction her family might be cursed-can they manage to hold onto
each other?
