“STREGA - Magic: The Spirit Never Dies” is a rich novel set along the shores of modern day Massachusetts and in the Old Country of southern Italy, where hereditary witchcraft is legendary. “Strega” means “witch” in Italian. Steeped in history but with a sense of humor, this is a tale of Reincarnation, Family, Love, Hope. About the Joy we can pull out of suffering. About Feminine Sovereignty and Gifts passed down through the ages. Third-year medical student Angela Scotti (Annie) has nearly achieved her dream of becoming a healer. Tragedies in her short life refuse to give her peace. Worse, her fiancé, a successful New York divorce lawyer, gives no credence to the urgent whispers she has begun to hear in the night. And in her hospital work, her mentor has become her enemy, and she must fight alone. This cinematic account of the women who preceded Annie moves smoothly through Italy of 1617 and 1899. Today, a prisoner of her unsettled present, Annie flees to the calming waves and fresh salt air of Massachusetts. Without warning she runs headlong into the frightening Past, a past that threatens to destroy her. Yet she finds hope, and love, and herself in the most unlikely places. Will she recognize it in time?
