Dulcibel: A Tale of Old Salem

"Dulcibel: A Tale of Old Salem" by Henry Peterson is a story that drops you right into the heart of the Salem witch trials, seen through the eyes of Dulcibel Burton, a young orphan who has a lot of money. In the town of Salem, where everyone is suspicious of each other and people are quick to accuse others of witchcraft, Dulcibel finds herself dealing with feelings for Jethro Sands, and facing dangers due to her complicated relationship with the jealous Leah Herrick. The story shows how love, jealousy, and the strong beliefs of the Puritan community can mix together to create trouble, as Dulcibel tries to find her way in a world filled with dramatic tension and the threat of false accusations.
