The Betrayal of Maggie Blair

(2) YA In 1680s Scotland, Maggie, falsely accused of witchcraft, seeks refuge with her father's family. But the Blairs are Covenanters, and life with them is also fraught with peril. Laird brings Scottish, English, and Protestant history to life, but even more potently presents a coming-of-age story, a stalwart hero, and a well-paced adventure that shows stubborn human nature in a thought-provoking light.
