Wise Child by Monica Furlong

Description: In a remote Scottish village, nine-year-old Wise Child is abandoned by her parents and taken in by Juniper, a healer and a sorceress. Under Juniper's kind but stern tutelage, Wise Child learns reading, herbal lore, and even the beginnings of magic. Then Wise Child's mother, the black witch Maeve, reappears. Forced to choose between Maeve and Juniper, Wise Child discovers both her growing supernatural powers and her true loyalties.
