The Urges

After spending their teens in a holistic commune, learning to control their mental powers, all Nadine Blumenthal and her best friend Apache want to do is drink margaritas, work part-time in retail, and become old maids in the Bartleby Creek Trailer Park. But after Nadine's marriage fails spectacularly, she receives a recruitment letter from the mysterious Halcyon Clinic, a psychic healthcare facility with an agenda to redefine the limits of human thought. Forgotten betrayals, family histories, psychic healers and telepathic surgeons, an all-girl witch militia, Teiresias as a Unitarian pastor, lady-killer shamans and brownie-baking psychopomps, Mozart's architecture and Anansi's whiskey, ritual magic and cybernetic implants, and the meddling of a crotchety old Goddess could mean the end of their friendship, or -- if they can't pull it together and assume control of their immense abilities in time -- of Nadine and Apache themselves.
