Connie Goodwin, a Harvard graduate who studied Colonial history and is working on her doctoral research, gets more than she ever bargained for when she finds that her ancestry includes a woman who was tried in the Salem Witch Trials. What she finds out in her research is incredibly believable - actually the hysteria surrounding the Salem Witch Trials is commonly known now, but (without giving anything away) Connie discovers much more. Some areas of the book are quite predictable, but in my opinion, that doesn't take away from the story. I found this book very interesting and highly entertaining.
