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

       Volleyball practice is uneventful and I am, for the most part, able to focus on the tasks in front of me. 


        “Okay, Charlie, this is game point,” Coach says from the sideline. It’s only a scrimmage but we try to take everything seriously. It’s my turn to serve. I take a few steps back from the line then toss the ball up into the air and make my approach, jumping and hitting the ball cleanly over the net. Tiffany takes the ball hard into her arms but it pops right back up, near the outside. The outside hitters step out of the way and the setter is able to get to the ball and set the ball beautifully back behind her. The hitter makes her approach and me and the other two girls in the back row, all brace for the impact. Our blockers line up and make the jump just in time, sending the ball straight back down onto the other side. Tiffany tries to dive for it but misses by a few inches. My team cheers and the game ends. We walk across the net, high-fiving the other team.
