The Heretic's Daughter - Kathleen Kent

This was one depressing book. Very well written and a wonderful peek into the Salem witch trial days and hysteria that resulted in the accusations of innocent people that resulted. I almost couldn't put this book down because I was waiting for the axe to fall. The author has beautifully captured the grace and strength of a woman who would not bend to community expectations or hysteria.

Verdict: Depressing, but totally worth it.
