Green Angel and Green Witch: Two Novels, One Book

By: Alice Hoffman

Narrated by: Nora Hunter

A two-fold tale of grief and hope, loss and love, told as only Alice Hoffman can.

When her family is lost in a terrible disaster, 15-year-old Green is haunted by loss and the past. Struggling to survive in a place where nothing seems to grow and ashes are everywhere, Green retreats into the ruined realm of her garden. But in destroying her feelings, she also begins to destroy herself. It is only through a series of mysterious encounters that Green relearns the lessons of love and begins to heal as she tells her own story.

As she heals, Green lives every day with feelings of loss. Her family is gone, the boy she loves is missing, and the world she once knew has been transformed by tragedy. In order to rediscover the truth about love, hope, and magic, she must venture away from her home, collecting the stories of a group of women who have been branded witches for their mysterious powers. Only through their stories will Green find her own heart's desire.

Everyday magic that Alice always brings

This is a book for young adults. It's simpler in text, but deep in story. I'm young at heart and still enjoyed it because it has the strengths of Hoffman and it takes you somewhere new and it's a privilege.
