Whispers of Witchcraft in Salem Village: A Tale of Fear and Love

Caleb Buffum, a Quaker, never expected to take in a young Puritan girl as his own. But he and his wife felt led to give the orphan girl a stable home. However, as the word "witch" spreads through Salem Village, Caleb's past experiences with Puritans leave him fearing for his family's safety. He knows all too well the rage they can unleash on Quakers with even the slightest provocation. What if the girl he has grown to care for could bring disaster upon them all?

A retired Puritan physician, Dr. William Griggs had hoped to spend his remaining years in peaceful seclusion in Salem Village. But when he and his family arrive, they are immediately thrown into the midst of a baffling and disturbing situation. As he struggles to understand the strange fits plaguing the Puritan young women, the Quakers living on the outskirts of the village are unaffected, and he wonders how that can be.

As the Quakers struggle to distance themselves from the madness, questions remain. Will they be able to escape the fate of the accused? Will their distance be enough to protect them if the village erupts into a frenzy of witch-hunting? Or will they fall victim to the Puritan's unfounded fears?

This gripping tale is set against the backdrop of one of the most infamous periods in American history.
