I'm reading this book called "Witch Child" It's a must must must read!!

Here's a bit about it. I allready read some of it and I cried.

"I am Mary. I am a Witch."
These two sentences are the beginning of the haunting story that is Witch Child. Celia Rees uses the form of a journal to tell Mary's story, combining the treachery and fear prevalent in England in 1659 with the personal desperation and loneliness of a young girl and the persecution she faces at the hands of witch hunters.
After her grandmother is tortured and killed, Mary faces a similar fate until a mysterious stranger intervenes and provides passage to America. The ocean journey is brutal and once aboard the ship Mary learns about the Puritan families she will be living among, and her discoveries do not ease her fears. It is only when they reach shore in Salem, Massachusetts that Mary realizes she has not escaped persecution, it has followed her and now she must survive by disguising her true identity from hatefully suspicious men and women.
