The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe

This book tells the story of a Harvard doctorate candidate, Connie, who spends the summer cleaning out her grandmother's old house and discovers references to a woman named Deliverance Dane. Connie soon traces the name to the Salem Witch trials and discovers that not all the accusations may have been false.

Howe, who can trace her ancestry back to not one but two accused witches, tells the story through Connie's narrative and through falshbacks to colonial New England. The two stories weave together to create an interesting novel, which asks the question, what if the accused in Salem had actually practiced witchcraft?
