Description
A historical novel set in Boston in 1662.
Mary Deerfield, 24. She has a porcelain complexion and blue eyes—back in England, she could have had many admirers. But here, in the New World, Mary is the wife of Thomas Deerfield, an influential and ruthless man. She lives in an age when a conversation with a stranger can brand you a fallen woman, and an attempt to treat with herbs can get you called a witch. In this world, everyone spies on their neighbors and can denounce a friend. Except no one pays attention to bruises and injuries that sometimes appear on girls after a quarrel with their husband.
Mary doesn’t resemble the others. She is kind to strangers, can’t stand hypocrisy, and always tries to act according to her conscience. One day, the girl herself becomes the object of rumors and suspicion—neighbors learn that she tried to cure a boy with healing herbs. They call her a witch, and, in a fit of rage, her husband drives a fork into the back of her hand. Now she must show courage to survive—not only her cruel husband, but also the gallows.
