Witch Woman
Jeanette Baker

Book Beginnings
Salem, Massachusetts, 1974
Annie McBride leaned over the kitchen sink and glanced out the window of her cozy Cape Cod saltbox. An odd celery glow divided the dawn sky into streaky layers of green and gray. She shivered and rubbed her arms against the October cold.

Friday 56
Maggie smiled. "I'm glad you're not damaged."
"Oh, no, just relieved. I mean, look at me," she continued. "I couldn't even ask him for help with my flat tire. That isn't the kind of person I should be with. I'm klutzy and disorganized. I forget things. I grind up silverware in the garbage disposal or forget laundry in the washing machine."

Witch Woman

In two different centuries, four hundred years apart, the lives of Abigail March and her daughter, Maggie, play out along parallel lines, both women blessed and cursed by a selective birthright and marked with a startling mutation, heterochromia iridium, one brown eye, the other blue.

In 1692 Abigail and three-year-old Maggie, are accused of witchcraft. Most women who found themselves facing the hangman’s noose during this shameful time are innocent. Abigail is not. Summoning her powers, she sends her child through a time portal into twentieth century Salem.
