The Green Boy

In the sun-scorched desert, a simple act of kindness unravels a decades-old secret. Wiccan priestess Bliss Harper provides refuge to Jody Green, a young man down on his luck, hiring him to help prepare her ranchito for a Beltane wedding.

The arrangement seems perfect, until Jody uncovers a diary from Bliss’s late mother. To his horror, he reads a firsthand account of his own mother’s death and recognizes the author as the very witch his family warned him about.

Struggling with this revelation, Jody’s newfound prejudice clashes with the family’s gentle Wiccan beliefs. Tensions explode during a violent desert storm when he confronts Bliss’s daughter, Linnie, with his fears.

As the dry creek bed transforms into a raging river, Linnie’s life is thrown into peril. With her daughter missing and a storm raging, Bliss must use all her resources—including the psychic guidance of her mother’s ghost—to uncover the truth before the floodwaters wash it away forever.

This is a story of magical realism and suspense, where ancient grudges threaten to destroy a modern family’s peace.
