Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1692. When the first girl fell down screaming, the people of Salem Village thought it might just be silliness. Then a second girl started barking. A third and fourth began to shake uncontrollably. A doctor said "an evil hand" had come upon the girls, and everyone knew: They were bewitched.

But who were the witches? Everyone knew that too: the unprotected residents of Salem--the poor, the elderly, the ones who were a little bit strange. Soon more girls were having fits and naming people as witches. The village erupted in accusations, suspicion, and fear. By the time the witch trials ended, dozens of lives had been ruined, and twenty people were dead.

And I saw it all.

With a snarky and surprising first-person narrator - a historical figure that played a major role in events - acclaimed writer Katie Kennedy offers a fresh new take on the greatest true-crime story in American history.
