Wagner-Wright tells an exciting version of the events in Salem, with plenty of drama between characters. But the book's compassion for its titular accused witch is what makes it truly stand out. -Chanticleer Book Reviews
History buffs and American historical fiction fans will surely enjoy another angle on the infamous Salem witch trials. -IndieReader
[Wagner Wright's] use of period phraseology...and descriptions of social customs convey the socially suffocating atmosphere to which women were subjected.... When the narrative enters the 1690s, it becomes a chilling and infuriating tale of horror...in a frightening display of group hysteria. Disturbing and historically rich. -Kirkus
...deeply moving and profoundly unsettling. Sandra Wagner-Wright breathes life into one of the most tragic figures of the Salem witch trials... -Seattle Book Review
Wagner-Wright vividly captures the panic and mania that invade Salem, and tragic figures such as Sarah illustrate the power of fear and greed when directed at society's most vulnerable. -BookLife by Publishers Weekly
...meticulous and fascinating... accessible and endlessly interesting... -Readers' Favorite
In 1672, Sarah Solart Poole Good and Ann Carr Putnam begin life on seemingly equal footing-both daughters of well-off families in colonial Massachusetts. But as the years pass, their fortunes diverge. Sarah's life spirals into poverty, homelessness, and mental distress. Ann marries into wealth and stability, becoming the wife of Thomas Putnam, the Younger, heir to one of Salem Village's most powerful families.
Yet even privilege cannot shield the Putnams from misfortune. Thomas is disinherited in favor of his younger brother, and Ann's expected inheritance proves meager.
