Young Sarah Carrier lives in Puritan-dominated New England, in the late seventeenth century. Sarah sometimes doubts her mother’s affection for her. But, when her strong-willed mother and her siblings are targeted as witches by discontented, hysterical neighbors and an uncle who holds a grudge against them, she will learn of her mother’s deep love. This unconventional retelling of the Salem Witch trials, told from inside the inhumane jail where accused witches were held, is a beautiful story of family love and a mother’s sacrifice amidst the horrors of intolerance and hatred. The inspiration for the book comes from the author’s own family history.
