June Ahern-The Skye in June June 13, 2008

June Ahern reads from her novel The Skye in June

When the MacDonald family emigrates from Scotland to San Francisco, California, young June has visions. They haunt Cathy, revealing her secret past in the Scottish Highlands. June’s religiously rigid and abusive father will not tolerate the visions. This doesn’t stop his feisty redheaded daughter from her interest and curiosity in psychic phenomena and witchcraft.

The family is on the brink of imploding when June and her three sisters come of age in the early 1960’s. "Doomed to hell, every last one of you,” proclaims Jimmy whose four daughters seem to be abandoning Catholicism in favor of the Haight-Ashbury's 1960s psychedelic lifestyle.
