Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman (Paperback)

Growing up in a small New England town, sisters Gillian and Sally Owens are marked as different. Rumours and whispers follow them, and the sense of magic surrounding their family makes them outsiders from the very beginning. All they want is distance from a place that never truly accepted them.

As they grow older, they take separate paths in search of normal lives. One chooses stability through marriage, while the other runs as far as possible from her past. For a time, it seems they have escaped the weight of their family name.

But years later, circumstances pull them back together. Faced with challenges that cannot be handled alone, the sisters are forced to confront both their past and the bond they share. Through loss, forgiveness, and connection, they rediscover what it means to belong.

In this third Practical Magic book, family, love, and identity come together in a story about acceptance and the ties that cannot be broken.
