Another goodie from my amazon delivery was "The Heretic's Daughter" by Kathleen Kent. The author is the real life descendant of Martha Carrier who was hanged as a witch in Salem, MA in 1692. She writes this novel through Martha's daughter, Sarah's eyes. It starts a year before and covers up to and after the trial and hanging. Not only is Sarah the daughter of an accused witch but also her father is quite a well known person in English history, Thomas Carrier who fought for King Charles and later for Cromwell. The next novel from her will be a prequel covering Thomas' life prior to arriving in the colonies. I will be searching Amazon for that one later today. What a family tree!
