Exerting all the primal pull of great storytelling, these haunting and lyrical tales activate ancient memories buried deep within our collective unconscious.

Featuring startling transformations and sweet revenge, bawdy humor and melancholy lyricism, the tales gathered in this collection celebrate primal female experience and the deep reverence the Celts had for all natural phenomenon.Jennifer Heath was born in Australia, raised in Latin America, and has lived and gardened the world over.
