Softcover, new
Brief Description:
As the descendant of Martha Carrier, an accused woman executed at Salem,
Alice Markham-Cantor presents a riveting story that spans centuries and
brings the historical significance of the witch trials into modern times.
Extensively researched and told through alternating fiction and non-fiction
chapters, this book illuminates a shocking truth: contrary to popular
opinion, the witch hunts never ended. Alice shares research that suggests
tens of thousands of witch hunt-related deaths have happened all over the
world in the last thirty years. The Once & Future Witch Hunt also features
tantalizing glimpses into Alice’s ancestors’ lives and reimagines the
trials through fact-based fiction. At the intersection of witchcraft,
feminism, anthropology, and history, this book gives us as authentic a
retelling as may ever be possible while trying to answer that single,
irrepressible question: how could this have happened?
