About the Book
“This woman was one of the most impudent,
scurrilous, wicked creatures of this world; and she did now throughout
her whole trial discover herself to be such a one. Yet when she was
asked what she had to say for herself, her chief plea was that she had
led a most virtuous and holy life.” —Reverend Cotton Mather, 1692

Salem. (Goodreads)
My Thoughts
Any book or story that is written involving the Salem Witch Trials has me intrigued. I knew this book would be well researched and I was thrilled to finally get to read it! This story is dual time line involving the same character. I love the backstory as it adds so much depth and reality to what led up to being in the Salem jail. The characters are well developed and the historical details are so very interesting. I have no idea how the author was able to weave in a bit of romance but she accomplished it splendidly! It is mind boggling what happened at this point in history and if you have any interest in Salem and what went on you need to read this book. This story is based on a real life account with multiple quotes directly from what was written down in 1692.
I highly recommend!
Five Stars.
