Young Sarah Carrier lives in Puritan-dominated New England, in the late seventeenth century.\u00a0 Sarah\u00a0\u00a0sometimes\u00a0doubts her mother’s affection for her. But, when\u00a0her\u00a0strong-willed mother and\u00a0her siblings\u00a0are targeted as witches\u00a0by discontented, \u00a0hysterical neighbors and an uncle who holds a grudge against them,\u00a0 she will\u00a0learn of her mother’s deep love. This\u00a0unconventional retelling of the Salem Witch trials, told from inside the inhumane jail where accused witches were held,\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
