by Heather B. Moore

Overview

"This woman was one of the most impudent, scurrilous, wicked creatures of this world; and she did now throughout her whole trial discover herself to be such a one. Yet when she was asked what she had to say for herself, her chief plea was that she had led a most virtuous and holy life." --Reverend Cotton Mather, 1692

Editorial Reviews

I don't cry in movies, books, TV but this book broke me down. I was wounded to the core when I finished this book, it was so moving. It is not the kind of books I normally read and I didn't think I would really like it. I hated the concept and what happened but the book was excellent in getting this message across without blame or pointing fingers. Wow. I was breathless and stunned.

Goodreads - Montzalee Whitman

This was a sobering and personalized look into the life of one of the people executed during the Salem Witch Trials. That the woman was an ancestor of Heather Moore made the story especially meaningful to me. Ms. Moore's writing, as always, was fantastic. She is one of my favorite authors because of her skill at crafting words.

Goodreads - Loralee Evans

I knew going into this book that it was going to be emotional and hard to read. I have read things about the Salem Witch Trials but nothing too in depth and nothing this personal. Heather B. Moore does an excellent job of bringing the injustice and bleak realities of the people unfairly accused to real life. My heart broke.

Goodreads - Aimee Brown

While this story is about tragic events, the majority of it is a beautiful love story. The relationship between Susannah and George is so very sweet. Their dedication to each other and family is wonderful. No matter what comes their way they are there for each other forever. The author's take on a portion of the Salem trials is written in a way that you feel the tragedy but at the same time feel the strength the victims share.

Goodreads - Donna Campbell

This is a moving account of the author's 10th great grandmother. It is a tale of love and life as well as an accounting of terrible accusations and death. Moore is able to bring this time period to life in a way that uplifts and inspires the reader, even while recounting tragic events. I gained a new understanding of the Salem with trials while at the same time reading a beautiful love story. Moore handles a very difficult subject with grace and dignity.
