...simple plot, by all accounts, about "a witch who wanted to be human and the gal he witched who weren't true." But, as the good Lord says, those who know not of what they speak should shut the hell up. Who, after all, are these men, Howard Richardson and William Berney, who pervert morality onto a framework that cannot stand its weight? It's an exhausted tale of witches and lovers and hillbillies, a sinnin' and a rollin' in the hay and a borin' you to tears. And you the congregation knows what will happen and have no reason...

Each one of them with this potential, and yet so few can be reached, to make the leap...
