The name Salem originates from the Hebrew word shalom, meaning peace. Salem life was traditionally rooted in agriculture, yet residents also respected Yankee ingenuity. This was reflected in the characters who lived in the town or migrated to its lush countryside. Prior to the Civil War, Salem had seven sawmills, two gristmills, six schools, four churches, a piano factory, an ink factory, and a cotton mill. Rosewood and mahogany pianos were made entirely by hand by the Whittlesey brothers, and Music Vale Seminary was the first music school in the country to confer teaching degrees. Salem also boasts writers, artists, an eccentric inventor who lit up part of Salem with his own rural electrification, a U.S. senator, an explorer who discovered Machu Picchu, and an honored Holocaust war hero. Though quiet and unobtrusive, Salem is blossoming with new citizenry, and it is still uncovering history with recent archaeological excavations. Mystery and untold history come together in Salem.
Salem Gardner Montgomery is just a teenager when her mom dies an unnatural and brutal death that triggers the discovery of her family's supernatural legacy. She must quickly learn how to control her newly discovered magical powers if she is to dethrone the planet's most evil witch - one who just happens to want her dead Fortunately, she has the help of some peculiar cousins she's never met, a friend from school, and a mysterious new boy that she also happens to be falling in love with. As she embarks on her journey, Salem has very little to go on with the exception of a letter that her mom wrote just before she died. The story moves backward and forward in time from when Salem was a baby to the present day and takes place in Massachusetts as well as in several foreign locations. Salem must navigate a treacherous path as she endeavors to learn about her family and its role in the supernatural realm. Along the way, she discovers that she had a twin sister who died shortly after they were born and that her (very much alive) aunt has been following her own evil agenda ever since that terrible day. This tale involves anthropological adventures, a powerful shaman and his vengeful daughter, a magical tiger, a power-hungry college professor, and a battle with corpses at the local cemetary.

In 1692 Puritan Samuel Sewall sent twenty people to their deaths on trumped-up witchcraft charges. The nefarious witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts represent a low point of American history, made famous in works by Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne (himself a descendant of one of the judges), and Arthur Miller. The trials might have doomed Sewall to infamy except for a courageous act of contrition now commemorated in a mural that hangs beneath the golden dome of the Massachusetts State House picturing Sewall's public repentance. He was the only Salem witch judge to make amends.But, remarkably, the judge's story didn't end there. Once he realized his error, Sewall turned his attention to other pressing social issues. Struck by the injustice of the New England slave trade, a commerce in which his own relatives and neighbors were engaged, he authored "The Selling of Joseph," America's first antislavery tract. While his peers viewed Native Americans as savages, Sewall advocated for their essential rights and encouraged their education, even paying for several Indian youths to attend Harvard College. Finally, at a time when women were universally considered inferior to men, Sewall published an essay affirming the fundamental equality of the sexes. The text of that essay, composed at the deathbed of his daughter Hannah, is republished here for the first time.In Salem Witch Judge, acclaimed biographer Eve LaPlante, Sewall's great-great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter, draws on family lore, her ancestor's personal diaries, and archival documents to open a window onto life in colonial America, painting a portrait of a man traditionally vilified, but who was in fact an innovator and forefather who came to represent the best of the American spirit.
