I devoured THE WITCHES OF DIXIE in one evening, enjoying it as I would a fine chocolate with a filling both light and rich that tantalizes and fulfills, yet leaves you wanting more. The author’s mastery of simile, metaphor, personification and other literary devices make the stories of the four women flow like poetry with a beauty that creates a feeling of peace and well-being within the reader. The common theme of the Wiccan faith is woven through all four character studies, but one need not be a Witch to appreciate the truths expressed therein. Indeed, every woman can relate to the struggles the ladies face: doubt, fear, loss of confidence, health concerns, money worries and a desire to be in touch with the truest, deepest part of herself through a personal relationship with her Deity. Even though I was unfamiliar with a few of the terms relating to the Craft, the context made the meaning clear and I was able to discern what the author wanted me to know. Her voice was clear throughout, and her own journey was visible in the experiences of the four women, especially those of Mirabella. Anyone needing a break from the frenetic pace of daily life, anyone who needs a simple but deep read guaranteed to calm and inspire, and anyone wanting the assurance that there is more to life than worry, stress, dissent and pain, should buy this book, read it, and keep it nearby for quick fixes of refreshing truths.
