But her ghost has never left.<br \/>\nAccording to her GG, it\u2019s tradition that the dead of the Mitchell family linger with the living. It\u2019s just as much a part of a Mitchell\u2019s life as brewing cordials or talking to plants. But Edie, whose pain over losing her mother is still fresh, has no interest in her family\u2019s legacy as local \u201cwitches.\u201d<br \/>\nWhen her mother\u2019s teenage journal tumbles into her life, her family\u2019s mystical inheritance becomes once and for all too hard to ignore. It takes Edie on a scavenger hunt to find objects that once belonged to her mother, each one imbued with a different memory. Every time she touches one of these talismans, it whisks her to another entry inside the journal\u2014where she watches her teenage mom mourn, love, and hope just as Edie herself is now doing. Maybe, just maybe, Edie hopes, if she finds every one of these objects, she can finally make peace with her loss and put the past to rest for good. But this journey to stake her independence from her family may actually show Edie who she truly is\u2026and the beautiful gifts that come with being just a little different.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-08-26T10:00:30+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Thursday and welcome to my stop on the blog tour for EDIE IN BETWEEN!

Where would you go to eat, hang out, relax, etc.?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019d probably go for a run with Tess along the Cedar Branch river, then grab some coffee at the coffee shop and pay Rhia a visit at Cosmic Flow. Maybe Rhia would give us a tarot reading. We\u2019d definitely end our day with a huge ice cream cone from Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>If Edie\u00a0were\u00a0to hang out with characters from other books, who would they be and why?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think Edie might have fun with the witches from Isabel Sterling\u2019s YA novel THESE WITCHES DON\u2019T BURN. They are all elemental witches and I think they could share some tips and tricks with one another about battling the Big Bad. And though I haven\u2019t read BAD WITCH BURNING by Jessica Lewis yet, it comes out the same day as EDIE IN BETWEEN, which makes them twins, right? Between Katrell\u2019s ability to talk to the dead and Edie\u2019s ability to call fire, I think they could take care of some serious stuff together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>If there was one fictional place you could travel to for a day, where would it be and why?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though it would be very dangerous for a human, I\u2019d visit Holly Black\u2019s High Court of Faerie from her Folk of the Air series. The world is so well-rendered and the characters so intriguing, I\u2019d love to spend a day there. Though if I ate or drank anything, a day could last a lifetime. Such are the risks we take, right?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>If you could meet any fictional character, who would it be and what would you talk about?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are so many characters I\u2019ve loved from books, but I kept feeling like I\u2019d rather speak to the authors to learn how they created such compelling characters! But if you really want an answer, I guess I\u2019ll go with Addie from VE Schwab\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">because she\u2019s lived for so long and I\u2019d love to hear about all that she\u2019s witnessed over time. Unfortunately, I\u2019d forget her and possibly everything that she\u2019d told me after out meeting. Such is the nature of her curse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>If you buried a time\u00a0capsule with three items inside, what three items would you choose and\u00a0why?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cell phone (so that people from the future could see what we used before the chips were implanted directly into our brains), a photo of a forest (so that people could see what trees looked), and a physical book (so that people could hold a magical relic that can take you to different worlds).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What was your favorite bit of research you ended up not using?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wish you could see my computer bookmarks for all my EDIE research: houseboats, stick &amp; poke tattoos, tarot, witches, ceremonial magic, herbal remedies, Scottish myths and fairytales, Celtic myths and fairytales. But the research that moved me the most was during my visit to Salem, MA while drafting this book. I visited a memorial to the people \u2013 nearly all women &#8212; hanged as witches. The solemnity of that place was in such stark contrast to what we see of witches in pop culture. Though the Salem witch trials aren\u2019t referenced in EDIE IN BETWEEN, the event that causes Edie to reject her magic was born of that moment in the memorial in Salem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is your favorite quote, scene, or moment from\u00a0<\/b><b><i>Edie in\u00a0Between<\/i><\/b><b>?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My favorite scenes are all spoilers because they take place toward the end of the book. For spoiler-free faves, let\u2019s go with the party scene, the first time Edie lays eyes on Rhia. Following that would be Edie\u2019s visit to the perpetual woods with its magical Hawthorn tree. I love creating that place and imagining how beautiful it would be in real life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12279\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Summer-2021-divider.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"50\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Summer-2021-divider.png 850w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Summer-2021-divider-300x18.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Summer-2021-divider-768x45.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12306\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aesthetic-Board-Summer-2021.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14018\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Edie-In-Between-Aesthetic-Board.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"773\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Edie-In-Between-Aesthetic-Board.png 773w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Edie-In-Between-Aesthetic-Board-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Edie-In-Between-Aesthetic-Board-768x994.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12279\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Summer-2021-divider.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"50\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Summer-2021-divider.png 850w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Summer-2021-divider-300x18.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Summer-2021-divider-768x45.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tbrandbeyondtours.com\/2021\/07\/07\/tour-schedule-edie-in-between-by-laura-sibson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Follow-the-Tour-Summer-2021.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12279\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Summer-2021-divider.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"50\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Summer-2021-divider.png 850w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Summer-2021-divider-300x18.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Summer-2021-divider-768x45.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12282\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/About-the-Author-Summer-2021.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"ubb-about-author\"><h3>About Laura Sibson<\/h3><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/laura-sibson-author-pic-350x350.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignleft ubb-about-author-photo\"><p>After a career in undergraduate counseling, Laura Sibson pursued an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts.
