The lives of three women are intertwined in this debut audiobook. Altha, portrayed by Aysha Kala, is on trial for witchcraft in 1619. Kala conveys Altha's fear that she will be convicted, as well as her confidence that she did the right thing. Nell Barlow presents Violet. In 1942, she's a sheltered 16-year-old who suffers at the hands of her tyrannical father. Barlow shows Violet's resilience as she overcomes having been raped by her cousin and breaks free of her father's dominance. Helen Keeley tells the story of Kate, who in 2019 flees her abusive boyfriend. Keeley captures Kate's growing confidence as she learns to become her own person. Each narrator maintains the stories' tension and suspense and keeps the listener engaged with these characters. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2023]
