![]() If she ever wants to live safely and happily, Wise Child will first have to determine where her loyalties truly lie. However, Wise Child isn’t truly safe, for her mother, the powerful sorceress Maeve, wants to control her, and the village priest is becoming increasingly intolerant of Juniper’s presence. Juniper teaches Wise Child to read, write, tend the herbs in the garden that are used to cure the ill, and the beginnings of her magical lore. Wise Child’s afraid to leave the village and go live with Juniper in her house on the cliff, but under Juniper’s warm and loving care, she soon comes to feel at home. She is taken in by Juniper, who was a friend of her father’s, but is widely feared among the village folk as a witch. Summary: When Wise Child’s grandmother died, there was no one in the small Celtic village to take her in: her mother had abandoned her and her father was frequently gone on long sea voyages. ![]() Why do I have it? I loved Juniper as a child and was excited to find out there were sequels. Where did it come from? It must have been from a used bookstore, but I acquired it before I was diligent about keeping track of these sorts of things. Genre: Young Adult, Historical Fiction, Fantasy ![]()
