Magic Spells The Wishing Garden by Christy Yorke (Bantam, $5.99, PG) ISBN 0-553-58036-1 Christy Yorke's sophomore effort is much stronger than her debut novel, Magic Spells . Her dreamy, lyrical writing style is better integrated with the story, drawing the reader in instead of holding her at bay. But I still stop short of a wholehearted recommendation. Yorke's talent is obvious, but her characterization skills haven't yet caught up with her wordsmith abilities. The mystical secrets of Tarot cards provide the framework for each chapter of The Wishing Garden . Savannah Dawson makes a living as an advertising executive in San Francisco, but she saves her passion for the tarot readings she offers after hours. When the Eight of Swords, a warning card, appears in her own reading, Savannah knows that trouble is brewing. Sure enough, she soon receives a call from her mother, telling her to come home to Arizona, where her father lies dying of cancer. Savannah packs up her moody teenage daughter, Emma, and reluctantly returns to see her beloved but passive father, Doug, and her hostile mother, Maggie. Savannah always identified with her quiet, cheerful father but received no emotional support at all from Maggie, who seems to revel in her own meanness. In Arizona, Savannah finds her father racing against time to fix up the garden that gives him so much pleasure. Savannah also meets Jake Grey, a loner with a dark past who is using his woodworking talent to build Doug a bench for his garden. Savannah can tell that Jake, sometimes known as "the psycho," is a lost cause. He's obviously miserable and determined to stay that way. But for some reason Savannah, who always finds a way to see hope in whatever tarot she deals, is drawn to this quiet man.

The Wishing Garden By Christy Yorke, August 2000, Women's Fiction Bantam, $5.99, ISBN #0-553-58036-1 Grade: B+ Sensuality: Subtle Occasionally I'll read a book with passages so bizarre or poorly written that I'll mark them with Post-Its. More rare are those books with passages so beautiful that I'll mark them with Post-Its. The Wishing Garden is such a book, and yet, it took a comment from one of my fellow reviewers here at AAR to help me realize there is a flaw in this book that is so important, that despite the beauty of the writing, I cannot grant it Desert Isle Keeper Status Savannah Dawson is an eternally optimistic divorced advertising executive/Tarot card reader living in San Fransisco with her 15-year-old daughter, Emma. Emma is an unhappy and rebellious teenager already in the "I hate my mother" stage of adolescence. When Savannah learns that her beloved father Doug is dying of cancer, she takes a leave of absence and, with Emma, makes the journey to Arizona to be with her parents. Savannah has long been estranged from her mother Maggie, who is an extremely difficult woman. When they arrive at her parent's home, she meets a mysterious man named Jake who is building her father a special carved bench for his garden. Jake has a helper, Eli, a troubled young man who is quite familiar with the local sheriff, a man who befriended Jake years before, knowing that somewhere, Jake has a secret.

Magic Spells By Christy Yorke, November 1999, Contemporary Fiction Bantam, $5.99, ISBN #0553578421 Grade: C- Sensuality: Subtle I have recently read two books featuring characters who are obsessive and carry guilt about something that happened to someone else in their lives. One of these books told the story better than the other. This is not that one. Jane Gregory was to have married Ned Payton seven years ago. The night before their wedding, Ned died, and because Jane wished he would right before he did, she thinks she wished him dead. After moving to a new town, Jane and her son return to Pendleton, Vermont, where Graham Payton, Ned's brother and Jane's former best friend, still lives. Graham is the town doctor and always loved Jane. It broke his heart when she became engaged to Ned. Emotions and feelings all around town get stirred up as Jane returns and tries to sort out her life. Jane and Graham are two intense characters, and neither one is particularly happy. Jane feels guilty about Ned and her seven-year-old son, Alex, because he hasn't spoken a word in his life. She is overly protective of her son and determined never to love again because love hurts and damages. Graham is married to a woman he doesn't love but who loves him more than anything. Graham has never gotten over Jane, and when she returns he starts finding excuses to be around her. He refuses to leave his wife, but he has all those feelings for Jane. In the past, Graham was envious of everything his brother Ned had and truly hated him.

MAGIC SPELLS by Christy Yorke Bantam November 1999; $5.99 paperback 368 pp; ISBN 0-553-57842-1 Contemporary/Magic Romance, Pendleton, Vermont, Present Day 2 Reviews Very Highly Recommended by Kathee Card The death of Jane Gregory's mother draws her back to Pendleton, Vermont and a childhood home filled with painful memories. She brings her six-year-old son, Alex, who has never spoken a word and a suitcase filled with shattered dreams. A small town has no secrets and within days of her arrival old jealousies and superstitions rise like the strange rose that blooms at her doorstep despite the advent of winter. Neighbor, Devon Zeke, stirs banked embers of passion that leave the taste of dust in her mouth, while dearest friend, Graham Payton revives a past best left forgotten. MAGIC SPELLS weaves an intangible tether around the heart and to write a lengthy synopsis deprives the reader of all the intrigue, joy, heartbreak, and mystery that fills each page. Christy Yorke created characters of depth and perception and imbues them with flaws, doubts, and fears that ring deep and true. Woven inexorable through the daily joys and tragedies is a sense of magic. Perhaps it is only the common variety that lives side-by-side with us; on the other hand it may be the sacred rites of an ancient lore that inhabits the human soul. Regardless, Christy Yorke offers her readers a chance to experience the true magic of words on paper. MAGIC SPELLS is this reviewer's pick-of-the-month. Reviewed by Kathee S. Card 10/26/99

Site Map Christy Yorke The Wishing Garden Bantam Books August 2000 ISBN# 553 580361 Contemporary Romance Setting: Prescott, Arizona Advertising executive and single mom, Savannah Dawson leads a successful life in San Francisco. Her teenage daughter, Emma, is going through a rebellious phase, leaving Savannah exhausted. For many years, Savannah has been reading tarot cards and telling fortunes for friends and for pay. She's never drawn a bad card for which she couldn't find a good interpretation; that is, until the night she draws the Three of Swords, a card that leaves even optimistic Savannah with a feeling of dread. Soon after that incident, Savannah receives a letter from her estranged mother, Maggie, telling her that Savannah's father is dying of cancer. Savannah packs up and heads to Arizona, with Emma in tow, rushing to see her father, Doug, after six years of being away. Once at her parents' home, Savannah meets Jake Grey, a wood carver, who is designing a bench in her father's garden; a special bench, Doug's final wish, for his garden is the key to how he expresses his love for his wife. As Savannah struggles to deal with her still rebellious daughter, her callous and estranged mother and a dying father, she finds peace and comfort with Jake. However, a permanent relationship with Jake doesn't seem likely since he harbors secrets, and yet hope remains.

Search Booksforabuck Powered by FreeFind Site search Web search MAGIC SPELLS by Christy Yorke Bantam Books, 1999 There's something magic going on in the small town of Pendleton, Vermontsome of it good, some of it bad, and all of it connected to Jane Gregory and her family. Jane's grandmother is a witch. Her mother had a way with animals. And it seems Jane has inherited some kind of power. When she was a teenager she cast a magic spell to make a boy fall in love with herthe wrong boy. He died in a drunk driving accident the night before their wedding, leaving her pregnant and devastated. But his memory has a grip on her that is ... unnatural. Seven years have passed, and Jane's son can't talk. She believes she is somehow responsible, and she takes on that guilt along with every other emotion that crosses her path. Jane is an angst sponge. She has two men in love with herone a good man but married to a nice woman he doesn't love. And the other a carbon copy of her long-dead lover. But she can't love anyone until she deals with the past. Magic Spells is an extremely compelling read, though not seamless. I found myself irritated with Jane sometimes. I wanted to shake her and say, "Just get over it!" I don't feel the "magical world" was adequately explainedthere was no rhyme or reason to how the magic worked. I adored the character of Jane's grandmother, but I really didn't understand her actions toward the end of the book. But I couldn't stop turning the pages.
