"With its theme of religious intolerance and its touches of the supernatural, this is sure to be in high demand for a long time." — Kirkus Reviews

Welcome to the world of young Mary Newbury, a world where simply being different can cost a person her life. Hidden until now in the pages of her diary, Mary’s startling story begins in 1659, the year herbeloved grandmother is hanged in the public square as a witch. Mary narrowly escapes a similar fate, only to face intolerance and new danger among the Puritans in the New World. How long can she hide her true identity? Will she ever find a place where her healing powers will not be feared?

good but i thought it would be better

this book is really different from what i thought it would be. The beginning was a bit slow and not that interesting (it basically tells about the journey and the landing), but from the middle on it gets better. I also thought that it was a single book, but it's not. I liked the story, although i don't know if i'm gonna keep reading the serie because i was actually more exited to read about the witch's past and the preview of the next book shows a possible relative of Mary from nowadays.
