The Shipton history is—well—complicated. Some families have a guardian angel. The Shiptons have a guardian ancestor, one who jumps right in, boots first, whenever one of her girls has a problem. Of course, Mother Shipton's girls aren't always limited by blood ties. They're connected by power, shared and used wisely. That power needs to get busy, too, or Katherine's oilman fiancé is going to disappear for good in the Gulf of Mexico, Katherine's best friend Sylvia is never going to reconnect with her childhood soul mate, and cousin Irene's wedding plans to world champion saddle bronc rider Matt Dillon (yep, that's his real name) will end up down the drain. It's a good thing Mother has family troubleshooter Lillian to help her in this century. These girls get themselves into more trouble than a time-jumping family guardian can handle all by herself
