(1) YA In 1645 England, Grace, a Puritan minister's selfish older daughter, is with child from trysts with the blacksmith's son. Nell, the cunning woman's granddaughter, refuses to help Grace end her pregnancy; so begins Grace's deceit--staying abed, spitting pins, crying out about imps and crows--ending in tragedy. Hearn straddles the line between the supernatural and the concrete realm of human passions and weaknesses.
