The year is 1659, a time of fear and lies. For Mary Newbury, it is a time of desperation. While she watches, unable to intervene, her wise and beloved grandmother is falsely condemned, tortured, and hanged as a witch. Soon the relentless crowd may turn upon Mary. When a mysterious stranger offers her a way out -- safe passage to America -- she knows she must go. But she doesn't know that the turbulent voyage will bring her to yet another society where differences are feared and defiance is deadly.(No Canadian Rights)

"Favorite Book "
Jen Whitfill Pruitt
"I wanted so badly to enjoy this. The first page was intense! I was surprised how quickly I got dragged in.
I was hoping that it would keep me interested enough to explore more historical fiction, but half way through I started dragging my feet. The concept was a 10 and I wish I got into it more."
