About When Light Breaks Through: A Salem Witch Trials Story:
When Light Breaks Through brings a fresh perspective that takes us beyond the witch trials to tell a compelling, hopeful story of what happened in Salem Village.
In 1692, twelve-year-old Ann Putnam and the other “afflicted children” bring devastation to the colonial New England community. Beginning as a daring, adolescent game, their accusations of witchcraft lead to twenty executions and scores of imprisonments, wreck families and create deep and bitter divisions among the people.
Five years later, Joseph Green, a young schoolteacher who is in love and eager to marry, takes on the ministry that no one else wants and with it the mission of healing Salem Village. With some dramatic actions that earn the people’s respect, Joseph makes progress in his quest to bring them together, but he knows that true fellowship will elude them while the hostility from the witch trials casts a shadow over every relationship and encounter.
When the opportunity comes, Joseph helps Ann to make an appeal that could finally unite the community.
