A gripping novel based on the true story of Margaret Jones, the first woman convicted of witchcraft in the 17th century in the New World.
Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1646. Thomas and Margaret Jones arrived from England to build a new life in the New World. Despite their differences in temperament—the cautious Thomas was used to blunting the passionate advances of Maggie, a herbalist and skilled midwife—they are united by true love. Maggie is expecting a child, and it seems their life promises only blessings.
However, in the stern Puritan community of the New World, Maggie's sharp tongue and straightforwardness are unwelcome. Her willingness to help is welcomed, but her astonishing, almost supernatural sensitivity and profound medical knowledge arouse suspicion. The God-fearing and rather hypocritical residents of Boston begin to see her as a treacherous witch rather than a kind healer. And all hell breaks loose on Margaret's head...
Based on actual diaries and court records, this novel is both a gripping tale of an unjustly accused witch and a love story set against the backdrop of political and social upheaval in both Old and New England, a brilliantly rendered historical account.
