Your Childhood Was Witchcraft

About the Job

Marissa’s whimsical view of the world is gone; she is a realist. Hardened by the world having to escape her abusive husband, gaining sole custody of Promise, having to turn in work assignments, and now losing her grandmother, those days of magic are far gone. She is exhausted, and now her daughter, Promise, is talking about seeing her grandma from the great beyond. Marissa wants to be there for her daughter emotionally and feel more magic in life. When the younger version of herself visits her at night, she embarks on an emotional journey to return the sense of magic and connection to nature that she’s lost.
