The Sugar Witch

The Sugar Witch by Nathan Sanders is set in the Florida swamp country of the Watchalahoochee River unfolding an at times eerie, weird and often very funny story of what's left of the Bean family, Moses and Sisser, along with Annabelle, the Sugar Witch. And yes, there may be flying cats, casting of spells, country music, not to mention a few possible surprises.
