Description
In 1950s Cambridge, Massachusetts, two brilliant young women arrive at Radcliffe with very different lives—Ava, a newcomer from Maine with a quiet intensity, and Lauren, a bold daughter of old money whose confidence masks a hunger for something truer. Drawn into the mysterious Lilith Society, a secret circle of witches with roots reaching back to colonial times, they uncover a legacy of defiance that has survived centuries of fear, blame, and silence. As their powers awaken and their friendship deepens into something more, they must also navigate the chilling pressure of McCarthyism, when suspicion can turn deadly and creativity is treated as a threat. When girls connected to the Society begin to vanish, Ava and Lauren realize the past is not buried—it’s waiting to be confronted. With Alice Hoffman’s signature blend of lyrical magic and emotional realism, this is a story about chosen family, forbidden histories, and the courage it takes to fly together.
