The Most Mystifying Potion

George the Great enjoys creating magic potions for Sophie Mae and the other Gardenia residents, shielding them from the ravages of the Great Depression and allowing them to serve those in need. Helping at the local church food line and building housing for the homeless keep them busy.




On the cusp of a new decade, Sophie Mae learns the estate's magic is fading on every front. Thoughts are no longer read in the imagination room. Residents are shedding their side effects. The potency of the plant growth potion will be tested on the barren Drycrop farm.




Thwarted by the very magic meant to fulfill her dreams, Sophie Mae must decide her own fate and learn to live with the consequences.
