"The Rules of Magic" by Alice Hoffman

FROM BELOVED AUTHOR ALICE HOFFMAN COMES THE SPELLBINDING PREQUEL TO HER BESTSELLER PRACTICAL MAGIC.

For the Owens family, love is a curse that began in the 1600s, when Maria Owens was accused of witchery for loving the wrong man. Hundreds of years later, in 1960s New York City at the cusp of an ever-changing world, Susanna Owens knows that her three children are dangerously unique. Difficult Franny, with skin as pale as milk and blood-red hair; shy and beautiful Jet, who can read other people’s thoughts; and charismatic Vincent, who began looking for trouble on the day he could walk.
  From the start, Susanna sets down rules for her children: No walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles, no books about magic. And, most importantly, never, ever, fall in love. But the Owens children never adhere to rules, desperate to uncover who they really are. The Rules of Magic takes us on a dreamy, unforgettable journey, both thrilling and exquisite, real and fantastic—reminding us that the only remedy for being human is to be true to yourself.
