(4) YA Widowed after only two days, sixteen-year-old Marnie is viewed with distrust by the local villagers. When she befriends a deaf boy and invents a signed language, the villagers, encouraged by Marnie's hateful brother-in-law, accuse her of witchcraft and demand a trial. Although the story is unwieldy and overwritten at times, Jordan's adept characterizations, combined with romance and suspense, will draw teen readers.
