From the book jacket...

From the book jacket...

About 100 miles south of New York City, in an isolated part of New Jersey called the Pine Barrens, sightings of a dragon-like creature have continued into recent times. Today, the Jersey Devil survives as a professional sports team, but the legend of this once-dreaded creature has roots that reach back 260 years to colonial America. In her fictionalized account of the Devil's origin, Cynthia Lamb has relied upon a combination of family lore and original historical research to bring this story to life.

  • Having read and loved this book I can tell you that it combines history and fantasy in a very down-to-earth and personal way. No departure to grand fantastical images and dreams, but the mythical taken down to a very personal and simple level. It's magic. Thank you Cynthia

  • I just read Brigid's Charge and thought it was wonderful. What a truly beautiful and accurate portrayal of what it is and means to be pagan. Also the trials of such beliefs and how ignorance can bread fear and contempt. Brilliant. Thank you.

The cover of my first novel

Review Blurbs

Review Blurbs

A fascinating exploration of the origin and nature of what we have come to think of as witchcraft. 
 --San Francisco Chronicle

[Brigid's Charge] uses the legend to get places, to say things about life and people and religion and things that matter.
--The Press of Atlantic City

One of the best novels concerned with women's spirituality. The fact that Lamb is a descendant of her heroine adds an especially magical note to her endeavor.
--Booklist
Highly recommended...
--Library Journal

There isn't enough literature like Brigid's Charge around.
--San Francisco Bay Times

A well-crafted, imaginative tale, and terrific reading.
--The Midwest Book Review

A book of real magic which carries the reader along on a fast-moving stream of passion and truth.
--Bodega Bay Navigator

I found this book a real gem, and look forward to more from the author.
--Judge for the Benjamin Franklin Award
