I read this for a book club to which I belong. It's classified as an adult book, so it's not in our library. However, if you're at all interested, let's start you with The Witch of Blackbird Pond or Ann Rinaldi's book A Break with Charity.
I've always been intrigued by the Salem Witch Trials (ever since a wonderful English teacher named Mrs. Bailey recommended The Witch of Blackbird Pond to me. I LOVED it!). This book takes real people who were accused in Salem and fictionalizes what their day-to-day life must have been like. Follow a family as they move to a new town, care for an ailing family member, invoke town gossip, and ultimately are imprisoned for things they did not do. You will be amazed by the strength of character and endurance through difficult times. Great book!
