The Putnams of Salem: A Novel of Power and Betrayal During the Salem Witch Trials
It's 1692, and the people of Salem are on edge. Amid squabbles over religion and land and fears of hostile natives lurks the ever-present terror of the devil's influence. When young girls suddenly begin to claim they are being tormented by local "witches," a chilling hysteria grips the town. At the center of the maelstrom is one family, headed by the well-respected Thomas Putnam, whose daughter Ann happens to be one of the accusing girls. Survival, betrayal, and the binding ties of a family's darkest secrets converge as we uncover the haunting secrets that bind the Putnams' legacy.
"As a fresh look at history, Houle's work is intriguing. As a descendant, his view is powerful. And as a mirror to our own times, The Putnams of Salem is just this side of terrifying."
