The Good Neighbors
People used to know the truth about fairies, and they were afraid of them.
When visiting homemaker Ginger Stewart encounters a troop of fairies in the wild, green hills of West Virginia, she learns magic is real.
She also learns our ancestors were right. There are reasons to be afraid.
Ginger is astounded when a fairy leaps out of the bushes and attacks her while she’s calling on an elderly client, Violet. Violet has spent her life coddling the fairies and hiding them from the outside world. But things have changed. The fairies have become angry and aggressive, and the mayhem is escalating.
Ginger and Violet must negotiate a maze of folklore, ancient symbols, and dark family secrets. Will they find a way to restore equilibrium to the fairies - and themselves - before it’s too late?
Kind Words from Readers
“I loved this book. The story is funny and original and the characters are refreshingly flawed in a real world kind of way. These are not the typically beautiful Fae found in so many modern fantasies. I’d say this is a grand fiction debut for the author and I will definitely be looking out for more from her.” ~ Amazon review
“Sturtevant's writing is tight and her wit is sharp. The story doesn't head where you think it will. I adore Ginger, the main character, who is so flawed, so real, and so very funny ( though not on purpose). The small details about the fairies, like the white plastic purse, give the story a freshness that can be rare in fantasy books. This was the perfect book to distract me from all the unpleasantness of reality at the moment, and can't we all use some of that at times? I hope that we hear more from Ginger in the future.” ~ Amazon review
“This book provided the perfect getaway from the endless bad news and daily stress of 2020. I found myself completely absorbed with the characters and their lives in small town West Virginia. Lynne's colorful and detailed descriptions put you in the rooms with her characters and make you feel like part of the story. It's a fast paced, enjoyable read, with an unexpected ending. Highly recommended when you need a break from reality.” ~ Amazon review
