Description
In the shadow of the Salem witch trials, a young girl named Sarah Carrier witnesses the brutal persecution of her mother, Martha, one of the first women accused of witchcraft. Sarah, as bright and defiant as her mother, grapples with the suffocating religious fervor and superstition that grips their Puritan community. This novel powerfully recounts Martha's courageous stand against injustice and her tragic fate, as seen through the eyes of the daughter who survived to tell her story. It is a haunting exploration of family love, resilience, and the devastating consequences of fear and intolerance.
