"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 New York City at the cusp of the sixties, when the whole world is about to change, 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 the day he could walk.  From the start Susanna sets down rules for her children; No waling 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 her children will never adhere to rules, and all three are desperate to uncover who they really are."
