The Witch Of Blackbird Pondo

Sixteen-year-old Kit Tyler has been forced to leave her beloved home on the island of Barbados.  Alone and desperate, she joins a family she has never met in the 1687 colony of Connecticut. When she arrives, Kit is shocked by the Puritanical lifestyle of her uncle’s house-hold. Torn between her quest for belonging and her desire to be true to herself, Kit struggles to survive in a hostile place. Just when it seems she must give up, she finds a kindred spirit. But Kit’s friendship with Hannah Tupper, believed by the colonists to be a witch, proves more taboo than she could have imagined. Kit must choose: should she abandon her only friend, or stand by her and risk losing everything?
