Meet Abby Harper, a biracial witch living in the United States. Attempting to rebuild her life following her mother’s death, Abby soon discovers that her new path is chock-full of magic…and mayhem.
Midnight Break-In

my mother’s cancer was a descent into hell
dante’s inferno, all nine rings
limbo for not knowing the reality
lust and gluttony for the desire to live
greed to seize upon any time that’s left
wrath for the anger of possible loss
heresy for cursing god for this injustice
violence for the rage of being unable to fully engage in the fight
fraud for false hope
treachery for medical incompetence
