WITCH BABY Witch Baby is, of course, about Witch Baby, the product of My Secret Agent Lover Man's affair with a witch when he was mad at Weetzie for letting Dirk and Duck father a child with her. The baby had turned up on their doorstep and is now being raised as an "almost-sister" to Cherokee, Weetzie's daughter. But she doesn't feel at all like she belongs. She feels ugly and unappreciated in Weetzie's golden, shining, happy family, and spends lots of time taking pictures, collecting news clippings of horrid events, and skating around in her cowboy-boot roller skates. Witch Baby is the story of Witch Baby trying to track down where she does belong. Read an excerpt here. Back to Francesca Lia Block Page
