This was an interesting book about some very troublesome times.
Some favorite quotes:
"A child is like an early spring bulb that carries all the resources needed within its skin for the first push through the soil towards the sun. And just as a little bit of water can start the bulb to grow, even through fissured rock, so can a little kindness give a child the ability to push through the dark."
"There is no death in remembrance. Remember me, Sarah. Remember me and part of me will always be with you ...more

I love this book.
One begins a book about the Salem witch trials with a certain trepidation and preparedness for tragedy, which this book certainly has. It also has an understanding of the mother daughter dynamic and how difficult it can be at times and how loving and loyal at other times.
While there is evil and treachery in abundance there is also bravery and truth to balance that.

A glimpse into what it was likely like at the time of the witch trials.
I recommend this book about the Salem Witch Trials. It is one of the better books I have read about that bleak period of history.
