Susanna desperately wants to join the group of girl who meet every week at the parsonage. What she does not realize is that the leader of a group, the maliicous Ann Putnam, it about to set off a torrent of false accustations leading to the imprisonment and execution of countless innocent people.
When Susanna puts the pieces together, she faces a painful choice. She can keep quiet and let the witch-hunt panic continue, or she can "break charity" with the group and risk her family named as witches.-A Break with Charity", (back of book)
