Erin wanted to give her daughter, Charlie, a normal childhood, but Charlie isn't a normal child. Charlie and her mother are both witches. After escaping government captors, Erin gave birth on the run and spent many years moving Charlie from town to town to avoid being locked up and experimented on. When Charlie started high school, Erin made a promise they wouldn't move again until she had graduated. Now, they've made it to senior year without issue but when a new kid shows up at school, Charlie notices something strange about him. In order to uncover the truth, she begins acting out of character and going behind her mother's back to handle everything on her own. Charlie's reckless behavior opens the door for trouble to quickly find them once again. With Erin as her teacher, Charlie still has a lot to learn before she is ready to face the unknown evils that have been after them for all these years.

Witches In Suburbia

       “Mom,” I say when she picks up her phone.


	“Charlie? What’s wrong?” Mom’s voice comes through the phone sounding very worried. The worry is not unjustified.


	“Can you come home? Max had a lot to tell me.” I admit and I hear her suck in a gasp.


	“Charlie, I told you not to confront him without me,” Mom scolds me but I hear her quickly packing up over the phone. 


	“I know, and I wasn’t going to but he pulled me aside and well, I’m headed home now,” I tell her as I head out the door of the school. I take off jogging to get home.


	When I get home, I am out of breath but Mom’s car is already in the driveway. I see her pacing around inside the house then she darts over to the kitchen counter where her laptop is sitting open. I knock on the door when I push it open.
