Magdalene Cruthers Is Going To Hell - Paperback

by Ali Lockhart (Author)

For years, Magdalene Cruthers has performed seances for grieving clients, using her ability to communicate with spirits to bring peace to those left behind-well, using her pretend ability to communicate with spirits, anyway (a girl's got to eat). After tragedy strikes, she and her two cohorts decide to go on the straight and narrow, settling far from their usual grifter haunts.

Theodore Barrow's life is full of responsibilities: running his family's butcher shop, keeping his bickering siblings in line, and, most importantly, raising his young daughter. A chance meeting with a fortune teller in a dingy tent wedges its way into his mind-particularly after said fortune teller ends up in his small town of Roslyn, as beautiful and flustered as the first time they met.

Falling in love with Theo and his toddler daughter Emmy is the easy part, but the sanctimonious village pastor, hell-bent on preserving the morality of their small town, has set his sights on Maggie and her family. With her secrets-and hard-won reputation-on the line, she must determine whether to run from the past she's tried so hard to escape, or fight for the future she's found.
