Books like Witch Child by Celia Rees


Young Mary Newbury writes a diary chronicling her 1659 journey across the Atlantic and her early years in a Puritan settlement near Salem, Massachusetts. As a girl believed to be a witch, her entries offer a vivid, first‑person view of frontier life, religious tension, and the everyday realities of 17th‑century colonial America. Through her eyes readers learn how an outsider’s perspective reveals the hardships and hopes of early settlers while tracing the cultural anxieties that preceded the infamous Salem witch trials.
