Rachel's Review: Witch Child by Celia Rees

Go back in time to the Salem Witch Trials. Mary Newbury lives with her grandmother and her grandma gets hung for being a witch. Mary is forced to act as a Puritan and go acrose the sea to America. Mary meets Martha, an herbal healer who is also a strong Puritan. Mary has to be able to fool the Reverend, and stay alive on the ship to America. People are sick, and having a baby is very dangerous, so when one person is sick and ready to have a child, people turn to Mary and Martha to deliver it safely. Can Mary stay hidden with every prying eye staring at her to fall?
