Lee left her childhood hometown and never gave it a second thought. Until now. When she graduated, she turned her back on anything to do with her family’s power. Years later, she is returning with two kids and is confronting everything she left behind. She begins to see how her grandmother helps the community and while she has no intention of diving into the same magic as her family, she may not have another choice when a man is found dead. This discovery sparks a chain reaction that makes Lee fear that something else was conjured and that may have eyes on someone close to her.

At the root of the story is a journey of self-discovery that finds Lee confronting her past as she returns to her hometown and reunites with various family members. These reunions bring up tension from Lee’s childhood and force her to confront old feelings and fears. This journey is relatable and a realistic portrayal of family dynamics set against a magical-infused community. The community is an important aspect of the story, and through both the perspective of Lee and her daughter, you can see how these people band together.

Strange Folk blends self-discovery and romance with a family drama that unfolds with danger, magic, and female empowerment.
