"Middle-aged witch Tilly Reinicke tries her very, grumpy best to guide, cajole, bespell, and reason with her new, non-magical neighbours, the Bells, so they might respect and work with-not against-the natural and paranormal world around them as they remodel their new plot of land. Success is critically important, because the beings the Bells are affronting do not suffer dismissal or disrespect"-- Provided by publisher.
