The Godmother

The Godmother puts a new twist in contemporary fantasy with the assertion that fairy godmothers exist here-and-now and they have magical power that allow them to intervene in real-world problems. So, what if someone wished for a fairy godmother to help the entire city of Seattle? An overworked, overstressed social worker named Rose Samson does just that when she makes an idle wish on a mustard seed. Felicity Fortune of Godmothers Anonymous shows up to help. Rose Samson is neither fashion-model beautiful nor a twit and she happily joins forces with Felicity Fortune, a "Godmother" who demonstrates that Grimm's fairy tales are still relevant in our humdrum modern world. What nobody in the fairytales ever says directly, though, is that fairy godmothers are on a magical budget so every possible way they can get human beings or animals to assist each other they will try rather than using up their magical means.

  • "In Seattle, a social worker and a fairy godmother join forces to solve welfare cases with magic. Part-fantasy, part reality, the novel is an update of some well-known fairy tales: Hank and Gigi, a pair of abandoned children, in the role of Hansel and Gretel, and Sno in the role of Snow White, her royalty the result of her father's rock star celebrity status. By the author of The Healer's War."
