My heart broke for Persephone early on, and then I grew to love her AND this book. Magical and lovely and touching.

Persephone May comes from a long line of magical women, even if she doesn’t know it. Brought up in the foster care system, Persephone has always been different and has never felt love or a sense of belonging. The fact that bizarre incidents tend to occur wherever she is doesn’t help and she copes by keeping herself aloof from everyone. After a particularly public display forces her to retreat again, she gets a lucky invitation to Wile Isle, a place where Persephone will come to realize she is far from unusual and never alone. This is a charming story of magic and longing for home
