  • "A family without men, the Birches live glorious offbeat lives in the lush backwoods of North Carolina. In a sad and singular era, they are unique among women of their time. For radiant, headstrong Sophia and her shy and brilliant daughter Margaret posses powerful charms to ward off loneliness, despair, and the human misery that all too often beats a path to their door. They are protected through the years by the eccentric wisdom and muscular love of the most stalwart Birch of all: a solid, uncompromising self-taught healer who can cure everything from boils to broken hearts, a remarkable matriarch who calls herself Charlie Kate."@en

  • "In the verdant backwoods of North Carolina, in the sad and singular 1940s, the Birches are unique among women of their time. Charlie Kate is a self-proclaimed doctor who treats everything from leprosy to malaria with herbs and roots, much to the chagrin of her strong-willed daughter Sophia. Shy, brilliant Margaret narrates the tale, as she struggles with the homefront demands of World War II."@en
  • "Margaret struggles toward adulthood in a world torn apart by the Second World War and complicated by her strong-willed mother, Sophia, and grandmother, Charlie Kate, in a story about three generations of passionate, willful Southern women."
  • "A tale of three generations of North Carolina women that has charmed readers from coast to coast. Their men may come and go-- but for Margaret, Sophia and Charlie Kate, the hopes, hurts, large losses and small victories are the stuff that bind family together."
