The Book of Maggie Bradstreet
"In a world of darkness, of witches and devils and spectral evidence, our eyes catch a glint of light:  the wry and indomitable Maggie Bradstreet. As we enter her reality from the inside out, we, like Maggie, wonder if the end of the world is at hand. The novel is a young woman's story, but also the story of anyone who has ever tried to fathom the mysteries of the human heart."- Rebecca McClanahan, author of "Word Painting" and "The Riddle Song""Gretchen Gibbs brings Puritan New England to life. Too gutsy for her own time, Maggie is a girl today's readers will understand. The novel is a page-turner - part mystery, part romance, part coming-of-age story.Struggling against witchcraft hysteria, Maggie is a bewitching heroine."- Mary Makofske, author of "Traction""Gretchen Gibbs has written a book so tender and fresh that the voice gets inside your head. Its dark brilliance gives this debut novel the rare quality of making the heroine exist now and also in another time. Maggie Bradstreet pulls you into a very real yet incomprehensible world of spells and fear."- Judy Pedersen, author of "When Night Time Comes Near"
