Once you start a revolution, you can't turn back. As the American Revolution begins, New York's Hudson River Valley is no longer a land of peace and plenty. British warships patrol the river. Local militia fire upon them. Troops come ashore to loot and burn, and to drag rebels to near-certain death aboard British prison ships.Fourteen-year-old Sarah van Tassel is fighting for freedom, too. Sarah wants to think and do what she believes to be right, not what her family and friends insist that she must.Sarah's resolve is tested when she meets Hulda the Witch, an outcast "healing woman" who lives alone in a haunted hollow. Sarah's domineering English mother forbids her to see "that unfortunate creature," and her conniving cousin Rachel bullies her about "the witch." Sarah isn't sure which of them is right, or if the truth is another view entirely.Historic events and real-life characters, including Hulda the Witch, are the inspiration for this story. As the British invade their land, people seek an explanation for their misfortune and find it - in Hulda.Does Hulda stir evil spells into her herbal remedies? Why was she talking with British soldiers? Is the truth that people, like Sarah's crystal prism, have many different sides?For readers of all ages!
