The Heretic's Daughter


Kathleen Kent is an descendant of Martha Carrier, an interesting woman who was convicted of being a witch during the Salem Witch Trials. The story is told from the point of view of the witch's daughter.
This is a nice piece of historical fiction. I enjoyed learning about what life was like during the late 1600's in America. Overall I think it was a bit ho-hum, but I'm glad that I read it.
