The Innocence Of Sarah Smith

With roots tracing back to the original Deerfield settlement, Katie Day, attending her 10-year class reunion in Old Deerfield, Massachusetts, discovers Mary Wells's journal dating back to the late 17th century. Captivated by Mary's account of frontier life and her developing friendship with Sarah Smith, haunted by accusations of her own past, Katie finds herself drawn into these women's stories. Recounting the Puritan attitudes of the day, this novelette tells the story of one woman's encounter with the harsh colonial infanticide laws and Katie's mission for the truth and to free Sarah Smith's soul from the guilt trapping her in this earthly realm.
