Blessed Be: A harrowing tale of a woman falsely accused of witchcraft

by Jane C. R. Reid

Overview

Martha, a modest girl from an English village, is falsely accused of witchcraft during the reign of King James I of England, an era of religious intolerance, change, and superstition. When she flees her village, she hides in a Puritan community under a false name to evade the witch-hunter. However, as a free-spirited woman with conflicting spiritual beliefs, Martha finds the rigid rules intolerable and does her best to maintain a pretence. Her darkness is illuminated when she meets Jacob, but deceiving him pricks her conscience, and as they fall in love, things become more complex.

While Martha tries to overcome her challenges, she does her best to keep the witch-hunter out of her mind—but she has no idea how determined he is to find her.

Editorial Reviews

Another creative masterpiece of writing by Jane Reid. I fell in love with each character as I embarked on a journey deep into the reigning times of King James I, alongside Martha who tragically finds herself at the centre of a witch hunt. This story boldly exposes the realism of women's experiences during this terrifying time, thus challenging our understanding of how diverse our threats are in comparison today.
