The Heretic’s Daughter

The Heretic’s DaughterDescriptionThe Heretics Daughter by Kathleen Kent is set in 1752 when Sarah Carrier Chapman, weak with infirmity, writes a letter to her granddaughter, revealing the secret she has closely guarded for six decades…Her story begins more than a year before the Salem witch trials, when nine-year-old Sarah and her family arrive in a New England community already gripped by superstition and fear. As they witness neighbor pitted against neighbor, friend against friend, hysteria escalates — until more than two hundred men, women, and children have been swept into prison.  Among them is Sarah’s mother, Martha Carrier. In an attempt to protect her children, Martha asks Sarah to commit an act of heresy — a lie that will most surely condemn Martha even as it will save her daughter.Kathleen Kent is also the author of The Traitor’s Wife.Reviews for The Heretic’s Daughter:“The Heretic’s Daughter was widely – and justly – praised for Kent’s lyrical writing and in-depth research, and both of those strengths are on display . . . A solid piece of historical fiction, beautifully written.” – Dallas Morning News“…her narrative moves so swiftly that its intermittent moments of genuine pity and terror catch you with your guard down.” –New York Times Book Review“Mixing history, love story, and suspense, Kent seamlessly blends true events with fiction to bring a fraught, endlessly fascinating period of American history to life.” –People$19.99 Category: Bookstore Tags: book, descendant, fiction, Martha Carrier, Kathleen Kent Quantity Add to cart Additional informationAdditional informationWeight.75 lbsRelated products Salem Witchcraft $22.95 Add to cart Salem 1692 Puzzle $19.50 Add to cart Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner $16.99 Add to cart The Crucible $14.00 Add to cart
