Join us as Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff paints a portrait of Salem during the witch trials—in a dark, unsettled time when the colony braced itself daily against Indian attack and English oversight, and when anxiety rippled just under the surface.

Hear Schiff examine:

The legal and social ramifications of the trials
The truth about witchcraft
The world of adolescent girls
How in curious ways the events of 1692 shaped America’s future

The Witches: Salem, 1692 (Little, Brown) is available for signing.
