What is Witch-hunt : mysteries of the Salem witch trials about?

<p><P>Salem, Massachusetts, 1692. In a plain meetinghouse a woman stands before her judges. The accusers, girls and young women, are fervent and overexcited. The accused is a poor, unpopular woman who had her first child before she was married. As the trial proceeds the girls begin to wail, tear their clothing, and scream that the woman is hurting them. Some of them expose wounds to the horrified onlookers, holding out the pins that have stabbed them &#151; pins that appeared as if by magic. Are they acting or are they really tormented by an unseen evil? Whatever the cause, the nightmare has begun&#58; The witch trials will eventually claim twenty-five lives, shatter the community, and forever shape the American social conscience.</p><h3>Publishers Weekly</h3><p>In a starred review, PW wrote, The author dramatically and convincingly sets the stage for the now infamous 1692 Salem witch trials, then ably deconstructs much of the misinformation that has been perpetuated through popular theories and personalities (e.g., Tituba, etc.). Ages 12-up. (Aug.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.</p>
