Praise
Praise for What We Sacrifice for Magic:
“What We Sacrifice for Magic beautifully captures the tension between the legacies we inherit and the courses we chart for ourselves. DeWerd sacrifices nothing artistically for magic, convincingly weaving in the warp and weft of the Vietnam War-haunted ‘60’s. This book is as much about sibling rivalries and loyalties, the chrysalis that pulses between adolescence and adulthood, bearing up under the expectations of parents, the foreclosed possibilities of small-town life, and the weight of a potentially tragic destiny, as it is about any incandescent magic. The most impressive spell here is the one DeWerd casts through her scrupulous storytelling. DeWerd nails the ambivalence in growing up with talents perfectly suited to a family business while yearning to know the wider world. The drama of generations clashing is brought to life in the most fiery ways imaginable, and the reader gapes on with a shiver of helpless excitement, like the transfixed onlookers in DeWerd’s intensely gripping story, wondering with ferocious interest what is going to happen next, and delighting in the book’s conclusion that we are stronger together than alone. DeWerd’s plot summons our attention, and enchantment thrums in every direction.”
—Matthew Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of We Are Not Ourselves
