Salem, the novel

Historic fiction at its best and most interesting. The story of America from the Mayflower to modern times.

Salem is the story of two familiesâ€"the Delanos and the Deanesâ€"who arrive in the New World three years after the Mayflower.

These proud families clash throughout successive generationsâ€"from the earliest days of Puritan Salem to modern post-9/11 America, with Salem, New England, England and Europe as backdrops.

What was it like to be accused of being a witch? Witness first-hand a poignant, heart-rending look at an accused woman and her family as the woman endures the hatred of her neighbors and faces certain death. But there's more to Salem than the Witch Trials. The reader follows one generation after another of Delanos and Deanes as they deal with conflicting religious beliefs, Indians fighting for their very survival, and British forces sent to keep order. See how Salem relates to the founding of Boston. Meet Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island. Witness the forming of America’s military. Along the way you'll meet John Adams, see privateering in action, view wealthy shipping merchants, Alexander Graham Bell, and more.

With each passing chapter the reader is pulled deeper into the events that shaped Salem’s and America’s history.
