Hoopeston tells the story of a heartland town that made international headlines when a group of Wiccans moved there to establish the world’s first Witch School. As the Witches battle Christian opposition, Hoopeston’s residents struggle to cope with decline and change: a young entrepreneur buys the only motel in town, the police chief fights a meth epidemic, and the Correllian Chancellor lays plans for a vast Crystal Web.
