The First Witch of Boston: A Novel

When Margaret Jones and her devoted husband Thomas arrive in Massachusetts Bay Colony to start fresh, they carry decades of love between them—but Margaret's bold, independent nature quickly makes her a target in their austere Puritan community. As a healer with an unguarded tongue, she's soon whispered about as something far more sinister than kind, and when tragedy and religious hysteria grip the colony, even her marriage faces its greatest test. This gripping novel reimagines the true story of the first woman convicted of witchcraft in seventeenth-century Massachusetts, weaving together actual diary entries and court records to create an unforgettable portrait of a woman unjustly accused and a love that refuses to break. It's a harrowing, deeply human exploration of how fear can turn a community against one person—and how courage and devotion become revolutionary acts.
