The Minister's Daughter

By Julie Hearn...This book takes place in 1645 England with a flash foward in 1692 Salem.  The daughters of a local minister accuse a healer and her grandmother of witchcraft.  This book is filled with interesting remedies and spells, some of the folklore of the time like pixies and fairies and the influence this has on society.  Lies the daughters tell about the healer and her grandmother follow the youngest daughter into Salem.  There are some great twists and turns, I really enjoyed the book.  This book is for young adults, teens, and adults.  I have always been fascinated by this part of our history...I would like to read more about the actual history.
