Description

Join author Alice Markham-Cantor on Tuesday, October 29 from 5:00 to 6:00 pm at the Sawyer Free Library at 21 Main Street on as she discusses her book, The Once & Future Witch Hunt, which investigates the Salem witch trials and their lasting impact. Through her research into her ancestor, Martha Allen Carrier—hanged in 1692—Alice uncovers the unsettling truth that witch hunts have not truly ended. Blending fiction and non-fiction, this extensively researched book offers insights into how to prevent such injustices rather than simply serving as a cautionary tale.
