This description comes from the 2009 Voice hardcover edition. Written with astonishing conviction and grace, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane travels seamlessly between the witch trials of the 1690s and a modern woman's story of mystery, intrigue, and revelation. This discovery launches Connie on a quest-to find out who this woman was and to unearth a rare artifact of singular power: a physick book, its pages a secret repository for lost knowledge.Īs the pieces of Deliverance's harrowing story begin to fall into place, Connie is haunted by visions of the long-ago witch trials, and she begins to fear that she is more tied to Salem's dark past then she could have ever imagined. The key contains a yellowing fragment of parchment with a name written upon it: Deliverance Dane.
As she is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the family house, Connie discovers an ancient key within a seventeenth-century Bible. But when her mother asks her to handle the sale of Connie's grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, she can't refuse.
