Annotation: The Cahill sisters are a bit strange, and everyone in the town suspects that they are hiding something, but what could it be?

“Our Mother was a witch, too, but she hid it better”

The Cahill sisters recently lost their mother, and it is up to older sister Cate to look after her two younger sisters Maura and Tess, which is easier said than done. Cate always believed that her mother was extraordinary, and her suspicions are validated when she locates her mother’s hidden diary one day; the diary revels that the Cahill females are actually witches! This revelation is quite dangerous considering the local Brotherhood of priests is on a mission to eliminate those who possess magical abilities. The only thing Cate believes she can do at this point is to pretend to be normal. How long can Cate and her sisters keep up the ruse?
