Her heritage was linked back to one of the women accused during the Salem trials. It was fascinating - such an amazing piece of history.Marissafarrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409272164117892923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698892964137840246.post-40678834370039083542010-02-05T09:25:53.856-08:002010-02-05T09:25:53.856-08:00ANOTHER GREAT REVIEW FROM AMAZON!

THIS ONE IS BY A SALEM HISTORIAN!<br /><br />5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Enjoyable!, January 20, 2010<br />By Witch Mark (USA) - See all my reviews<br /><br />"Having spent so much time researching the Salem Witch Trials in the past few years,it was thoroughly enjoyable to snuggle up and spend part of this snowy January in Maine reading "The Afflicted Girls," a novel by Suzy Witten. This book is written in such a way that the reader feels as if she has been drawn into the story and is experiencing the events as they happen. The fictional format gives both the author and the reader the ability to figure things out, understand the thought patterns of the characters, and tuck in all the loose ends in ways that have eluded academic historians for the past 300 years. I have often wished for the "invisible hand" that the fictional writer can use to sort and make the past understandable. This book is not history but it is storytelling at it's very best! I recommend it."<br /><br /><br />[Amazon Reviewer "Witch Mark" is Salem Historian M. M. Drymon (Author of "Recipes from History (Volume 1)" - Paperback (Nov 26, 2009) by M. M. Drymon and "Disguised as the Devil: How Lyme Disease Created Witches and Changed History" - Paperback (Mar 27, 2008) by M. M. Drymon)]<br /><br />Some info about her:<br /><br />M.M. Drymon is a historian living in Maine. Drymon has written articles on historical subjects that have appeared in the Farm and Mill Gazette and the New York Times. With an extensive background as a historian, museum foodway educator and curator, Drymon is dedicated to Historic Preservation and is also an advocate for Lyme disease and Autism research.<br /><br />M.M. Drymon spent five years researching and writing DISGUISED AS THE DEVIL: A HISTORY OF LYME DISEASE . Like many authors interested in the events at Salem, a possible ancestor was accused of practicing witchcraft in 1692. Rebecca Chamberlain died in prison in 1692 while accused of practicing witchcraft. The book is dedicated to her memory.The Afflicted Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864074166283014528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698892964137840246.post-63250455676430245652010-02-05T09:23:05.489-08:002010-02-05T09:23:05.489-08:00THE AFFLICTED GIRLS is now available as an Amazon ...THE AFFLICTED GIRLS is now available as an Amazon KINDLE book:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/THE-AFFLICTED-GIRLS-ebook/dp/B0036ZAOCK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=digital-text&qid=1265301454&sr=8-3The Afflicted Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864074166283014528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698892964137840246.post-12985044801385881772010-02-05T09:21:07.598-08:002010-02-05T09:21:07.598-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Afflicted Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864074166283014528noreply@blogger.com
