The Witch Hunter's Wife: A Short Story

You never know someone as well as you think you know them…

Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. 1692.

Caroline Choate has lived in Salem for ten years, privately grieving several miscarriages before accusations of witchcraft seize the Puritan community and catch Caroline and her husband, John, in the beginnings of its horror.

At first, Caroline’s day-to-day life is left unaltered. But after John’s growing interest in Salem’s turmoil leads him to join the witch hunt — accusing both neighbors and friends — Caroline is forced to grapple with the devastating choice of standing with her husband or setting out on her own.

Amidst a cast of real people and real events, The Witch Hunter’s Wife is a hauntingly beautiful short story that explores the power of confessions, staying silent, and how both can alter your life, or those you love, forever.
