A snarky smart story of an alternate history of Salem witchcraft. Three sisters who one by one run away to New Salem from their abusive father and the lack of any future. June, Agnes and Bella were estranged but now must help each other survive the coming storm. New Salem is a different place now that all witches and witchcraft have been eliminated after trials and burnings. Women are becoming excited about their voice and the Suffragists are gaining in popularity. The Eastland sisters might disprove that witches are all gone. One sister will become a nurturing mother, one is a skilled Librarian in love with someone unsuitable and the youngest is a rebel with a new cause. The women of New Salem look out for each other as all have suffered at the hands of the all powerful men. Now, the new witches of Salem will add their voices and demand to be heard. I loved how the author used fairy tales, actual history of Salem and the Women's Movement to create a story of women in power rising up. 4 stars
