In 1672, two young women share a similar social position. Their parents are financially comfortable, their homes secure. But life works out differently for Sarah Solart Poole Good and Ann Carr Putnam. Sarah suffers increasing financial hardship before falling into vagrancy and madness. Ann marries the son of the richest man in Salem Village and lives an ordinary life until her daughter falls victim to alleged witchcraft. Thomas Putnam, the Younger also has a promising future. As the eldest son, he expects to inherit the bulk of his father's estate. He marries a woman who should receive a good inheritance from her own father. But life has other plans. Ann's inheritance is small. Tom's father leaves everything of value to his brother. In February 1692, witchcraft infects Thomas Putnam's home. Ann Putnam, the Younger suffers inexplicable fits. She says Sarah Good afflicts her, and Thomas Putnam accuses Sarah Good of witchcraft. In June, Sarah Good is convicted of witchcraft. In July she is hanged. This is a story of three people caught up in forces beyond their control, and the witchcraft hysteria that gripped Salem, Massachusetts in 1692.…

Perfect for fans of Stacy Schiff’s The Witches, Kathleen Kent’s The Heretic’s Daughter, or Francis Hill’s Deliverance from Evil.
"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. By 1692, their lives are simmering with disappointment and resentment.
Then the witchcraft hysteria begins. In February, their daughter—Ann Putnam, the Younger—is struck by strange fits. She claims Sarah Good is tormenting her with witchcraft. Her father, Thomas, publicly accuses Sarah of witchcraft.
In June, Sarah Good is convicted. By July, she is hanged.
This is the harrowing true story of three lives intertwined by social ambition, economic frustration, and the tragic frenzy that overtook Salem Village during one of the darkest chapters in American history.
