Salem Gardner Montgomery is just a teenager when her mom dies an unnatural and brutal death that triggers the discovery of her family's supernatural legacy. She must quickly learn how to control her newly discovered magical powers if she is to dethrone the planet's most evil witch - one who just happens to want her dead! Fortunately, she has the help of some peculiar cousins she's never met, a friend from school, and a mysterious new boy that she also happens to be falling in love with. As she embarks on her journey, Salem has very little to go on with the exception of a letter that her mom wrote just before she died. The story moves backward and forward in time from when Salem was a baby to the present day and takes place in Massachusetts as well as in several foreign locations. Salem must navigate a treacherous path as she endeavors to learn about her family and its role in the supernatural realm. Along the way, she discovers that she had a twin sister who died shortly after they were born and that her (very much alive) aunt has been following her own evil agenda ever since that terrible day. This tale involves anthropological adventures, a powerful shaman and his vengeful daughter, a magical tiger, a power-hungry college professor, and a battle with corpses at the local cemetary.

This book draws on the wisdom of an extensive collection of 3x5 index cards that I began assembling during my college years-when I spent my summers as a door-to-door book salesman-and continued to accumulate throughout my life. And then recently, during the global pandemic, I began to think about writing a book as a means of organizing the index-card chaos that now filled a giant plastic tub.I even imagined that the tidbits I had collected could be a life-giving resource for readers-including, perhaps, my grandchildren one day. Thus, the book you hold in your hands (or perhaps view on your device reader) is my attempt to consolidate some of the greatest hits from my "plastic tub of wisdom." I hope you'll find that the stories, quotations, insights and life-changing experiences that I share in the book will inspire you to step outside your comfort zone and live an extraordinary, magnificent and abundant life.
