Alan, an intellectual property rights attorney slugging it out for a corporate master, brings his 86-year-old mother home from the clinic after she has broken her foot. Greeted by Fran's best friends, Isabel and Ignacio, all agree she will need home care. Isabel, always the mover and the shaker, calls her friend Felicity, a woman of Puerto Rican heritage, as a candidate. Fran and Felicity hit it off, but when it comes out that Felicity is homeless and has a checkered past, what seemed a simple solution becomes a quandary. Fran, acting on a mother's instinct, tries to connect Alan with Felicity hoping that as they get to know one another he may be able to help Felicity.

It is 1816, the Year without a Summer, and the greatest ghost story of all time is about to begin. But in order for that to happen, Mary must work through her self-doubts of womanhood, her place as a writer, her conflict with her dead mother, and Clara, always Clara there in her life, not to mention Percy, Byron, and the boyish advances of Dr. John Polidori. Tucked away in Byrons's villa in Switzerland, these five people are present at the inception of Mary Wollestonecraft Shelly's Frankenstein. Discover how a young girl becomes an independent woman, a free thinker for the ages, navigates a complicated love life, and establishes herself as one of the greatest female storytellers of all time, not to mention dealing with the ultimate bad boy, Lord Byron.

Mary-Larkin just wants a glimpse into her future--just a tiny peek of what her life is gonna be. But when she makes a deal with Granny Binding to tell her fate, there are strings attached: She's bound to a tragic path that means she'll run away and leave her three baby girls to fend for themselves in the wild, lonesome holler of a terrible, greedy God. When Laurel, Lily, and Lilac come of age, they, too, must face Granny Binding's powerful magic. Spiders and snakes converge on their tiny cabin, and the howl of the death-dog haunts their dreams. Can the sisters counter Granny's dark workings with nascent powers of their own, or are they doomed to live out their lives like sister nuns?
