Raising St. Elisabeth is a novella hybrid of magical realism and historical fiction. It fans the flames of many genres including fantasy, romance, and fairytale. This compact tale is a coming of age story with a long-churn of the seven deadly sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. St. Elisabeth is born into a world of understated magical realism with a slow-burn of incidents that confuse evil and the miraculous. Raised by an unconventional family consisting of her adoptive parents and her resurrected father, life is unusual and bears secrets in an apple orchard of Yakima, Washington in the late 1800s. St. Elisabeth can taste others emotions, which lends to revealing their intentions. A gift or curse, her family attempts to obscure her talents. As the gift grows, St. Elisabeth is marked with healing faculties. The efforts to hush her abilities weakens as she matures and confronts manifestations of the seven deadly sins. Raising St. Elisabeth is a reflection of a time where the rustic and futuristic are played out, just as the family struggles with their own feelings of insecurity at leaving the past behind and the temptation of the new. When evil comes to town in the form of a dark stranger, St. Elisabeth will have to make very real and life altering choices.
