Becoming Olympia

You have known her as the wise and loving mother and grandmother to her family of witches, but what was Olympia Blanchard's life like BEFORE she had children?

She was an eager, and sometimes timid, child who grew into a complicated woman.  Fearless, defiant, and determined to hold her own in a dangerous world, this is the Olympia before she had to set an example—before she became the role model of legend to her descendants.  Her past wasn’t always pretty, but it was never dull.

Follow your favorite grandmother from the beginning, before she gained her wisdom, before she became the matriarch to her illustrious and powerful family.  If you think you knew her from the BLANCHARD WITCHES fantasy series, you only had half the story! 

Welcome to 1940's Daihmler, Alabama and follow the childhood and young adulthood of Olympia Blanchard, her sister Pastoria, and their dearest friend...that's right!  Zelda.  Experience for yourself all those adventures she used to tell her grandchildren about. 

It wasn't easy BECOMING OLYMPIA, now discover for yourself how a great witch’s journey began.
