Résumé : 4ème de couv. - Kit has grown up in the island of Barbados, loved and pampered by her grand-father. But after his death, Kit must leave. It's not proper for a sixteen-year-old girl to live by herself.She's heard stories about her aunt and uncle who live in the colony of Connecticut. These are the only relatives Kit knows of. So, alone and desperate, she sets sail to leave in New England.
When she arrives, Kit is shocked by the gray, damp landscape, buteven more stunned by the Puritanical lifestyle of her uncle's household. Fitting in is not easy -until she meets Hannah Tupper, an older older woman who lives alone and is the only person who lets Kit be herself. But the colonists believe is a witch. If they discover Kit is her friend, they will think the same of her. Kit must choose : should she abandon her only friend, or stand by her and risk losing everything?
