Goddesses in the modern world are burnt out, exhausted, and in need of a break. Worse, many have joined the ranks of the forgotten and disremembered. Habonde Barleywine trusts she has a grand solution. Problem is, this goddess of the hearth has lost her temples, her acolytes–and many of her key memories. And how is she going to persuade her sistren–including Demeter and Brigid–to support her grand ambition, when she needs to put her own house in order? Baubo, goddess of mirth and Habonde’s BFF, offers support in her own bawdy way. But things begin to get complicated as Hades shows up in need of a favor, and Zeus’s ego is threatened. And then there’s Habonde’s unfinished business with the Woodsman and the unsettling fact that he seems to remember every moment of their shared past. *** The Goddess & the Woodsman is a contemporary adult fantasy set in the modern world. The characters within these pages were inspired by figures from Greek, Irish, and other mythologies. This book contains references to and scenes of trauma involving fire and loss of life; memory loss; explicit sexual intimacy between consenting adults; pregnancy (a minor character).
