When I picked this up I didn't know it was about witchcraft. I'm not really in the mood for witchcraft so...I stop and start. And, I'm sick of hearing about her red cape opening and closing in the wind, with its elaborate stitching. She seems to be self conscious of it (and she should be. I mean, witchcraft — in Salem!). Next, she's sharing the stitching with shopkeepers. Trouble brewing ...

"I loved the needle and the thread, and I feared losing them above all because they let me put my visions into cloth in a way that no one questioned, in a way that brought me praise. They let me keep my secrets in plain sight, where I prayed they would hurt no one, least of all myself."
