Grace is a Puritan minister's daughter: beautiful and refined, innocent and sweet-natured.to those who think they know her. But she is hiding a secret -- a secret that will bring everlasting shame to her family should it ever come to light.

Yet their fates collide when Grace and her younger sister, Patience, are suddenly spitting pins, struck with fits, and speaking in fevered tongues. The minister is convinced his daughters are the victims of witchcraft. And all signs point to Nell as the source of the trouble.Julie Hearn was born in Abingdon, near Oxford, England, and has spent her entire life writing.
