Water Spell is, at its heart, a work of bibliotherapy. In this practice, counselors prescribe books as they would medicine, using stories as entry points for reflection, confrontation of pain, and eventual healing. Catherine Broadwall acts as both doctor and patient throughout her debut memoir, suturing her own wounds. While bibliotherapy and ekphrasis-writing inspired by visual art-are often reserved for traditional, canonically-approved texts, here Broadwall applies them to things like Pixar films, music videos, fairy tales, and video games. She democratizes these tools, showing that a reader's delight in any narrative can spark profound revelation and growth.
