Kit Tyler is marked by suspicion and disapproval from the
moment she arrives on the unfamiliar shores of colonial Connecticut
in 1867. Alone and desperate, she has been forced to leave her
beloved home on the island of Barbados and join a family she has
never met. Torn between her quest for belonging and her desire to
be true to herself, Kit struggles to survive in a hostile place.
Just when it seems she must give up, she finds a kindred spirit.
But Kit’s friendship with Hannah Tupper, believed by the colonists
to be a witch, proves more taboo than she could have imagined and
ultimately forces Kit to choose between her heart and her duty.
Elizabeth George Speare’s Newbery Award–winning novel portrays a
heroine whom readers will admire for her unwavering sense of truth
as well as her infinite capacity to love. In 1687 in Connecticut,
Kit Tyler, feeling out of place in the Puritan household of her
aunt, befriends an old woman considered a witch by the community
and suddenly finds herself standing trial for witchcraft.
