 elevator&nbsp\;currently out of service and undergoing modernization repla
 cement. This program is held in the downstairs meeting room\, and it is on
 ly accessible by the stairs.</strong></em></p>\n<p>"Boston\, 1662. Mary De
 erfield is twenty-four-years-old. Her skin is porcelain\, her eyes delft b
 lue\, and in England she might have had many suitors. But here in the New 
 World\, amid this community of saints\, Mary is the second wife of Thomas 
 Deerfield\, a man as cruel as he is powerful. When Thomas\, prone to drunk
 en rage\, drives a three-tined fork into the back of Mary&rsquo\;s hand\, 
 she resolves that she must divorce him to save her life.</p>\n<p>But in a 
 world where every neighbor is watching for signs of the devil\, a woman li
 ke Mary&mdash\;a woman who harbors secret desires and finds it difficult t
 o tolerate the brazen hypocrisy of so many men in the colony&mdash\;soon b
 ecomes herself the object of suspicion and rumor. When tainted objects are
  discovered buried in Mary&rsquo\;s garden\, when a boy she has treated wi
 th herbs and simples dies\, and when their servant girl runs screaming in 
 fright from her home\, Mary must fight to not only escape her marriage\, b
 ut also the gallows.</p>\n<p>A twisting\, tightly plotted novel of histori
 cal suspense from one of our greatest storytellers\, Hour of the Witch is 
 a timely and terrifying story of socially sanctioned brutality and the ori
 ginal American witch hunt." - <em>Publisher</em></p>\n<p>Join our friendly
