Book description
WitchSome words can kill Germany, 1507. In a time when famine is rife
and panic spreading, people resort to desperate measures in order to
survive. When a visiting friar suggests that witchcraft is to blame for
their failing crops, Irmeltrud sees it as an opportunity to get rid of
her burdensome mother-in-law, Güde. Frustrated with having to feed the
old woman who brings nothing to the table, she is quick to point the
dreaded finger of suspicion. Güde has three days to clear her name, or
be led to the stake . . . Erika Mailman was born in Vermont to a
German-American family. She is a descendent of a woman who stood trial
for witchcraft in 1600s Massachusetts, three decades before the Salem
witch trials. She has a Masters degree in Creative Writing, and now
lives in Oakland, California.
