It is 1659 and Mary Newbury, theyoung granddaughter of a witch, sees her wise and beloved grandmother tortured and hanged as a servant of the Devil. Then a stranger with hauntingly familiar eyes approaches her with an opportunity–safe passage to America. But the difficult ocean voyage only leads her to a community of inflexible, fearful grownups who try to decide for her who and what she will be. Mary must disguise herself as a pious Puritan girl, hiding her true nature, or else face terrible danger once again.

Now that the pages of Mary’s journal have come to light, discovered in their centuries-old hiding place between the patches of a quilt, listeners can experience what it was like living in a society where differences were feared and defiance was deadly.©2002 Cynthia Rees; (P)2009 Listening Library Literatur & Belletristik Science Fiction & Fantasy

I enjoyed this audio book, the reader did a great job in performing this. I am an adult, and I found the story interesting, even though this book is meant for children/young people. The storyline revealed a wealth of historical information on the witch hunt in England, on Puritan life, and on the dangers and adventures the new settlers in the US had to endure, without being boring or being too scholarly. The story is told in diary form, it is easy to follow and entirely credible. I found the protagonist's interaction with the Red Indians extremely interesting - they share a common bond, as they are both healers and understand the benefit of herbs, and nature.

Interesting and credible
