I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem

I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem

Author(s): Maryse Condé

Location(s): Salem

Genre(s): Fiction, Historical

Era(s): 17th century

At the age of seven, Tituba watched as her mother was hanged for daring to wound a plantation owner who tried to rape her. She was raised from then on by Mama Yaya, a gifted woman who shared with her the secrets of healing and magic. But it was Tituba’s love of the slave John Indian that led her from safety into slavery, and the bitter, vengeful religion practiced by the good citizens of Salem, Massachusetts. Though protected by the spirits, Tituba could not escape the lies and accusations of that hysterical time.
