The Glowing Life of Leeann Wu

A seemingly inexplicable magic takes over the lives of three generations of women in this gripping and romantic novel sure to captivate readers of At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities and The Change.
Leeann Wu's hands have started glowing at the most inconvenient times, and the single mother and midwife doesn't know why. Could it be perimenopause? A hallucination brought on by a lack of sleep? On top of that concerning development, her daughter is off to university in a few months, her tenuous relationship with her ob-gyn mother is in peril of cracking, and she's attracted the attention of a younger man who sees far more than she's comfortable with. Her hands, glowing or not, are already full.
But as widespread insomnia plagues the town and life-threatening accidents begin to pile up, Leeann discovers the glow is not an anomaly at all-rather, she's part of a long line of women who possess a power unlike anything Leeann's ever known. Yet, even with the cryptic clues left by her great aunt before her untimely death, Leeann has no idea how to use her new skills.
With her town in imminent danger, Leeann doesn't have time to waste. She'll need to make peace with her magical heritage and do whatever it takes to find out if her glow means something more-before it's too late.
Readers who loved Practical Magic will find lots to love in The Glowing Life of Leeann Wu.
