Work Description
The Sacrifice is a historical fiction, but relating greatly to the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. In the late 16th century, witches are believed to be real, and Salem Village will stop at nothing to bring them to trial and more than likely-execute them. When the Faulker family's servant girl, Sarah Phelps, accuses the families two oldest daughters, 10 year old Abigail Faulker and her sister, Dorothy, to be witches or "servants of the devil," the two little girls learn to suffer nearly a year in the cruel lodgings of the Salem Jail where they become infested with lice, mistreated by the jailer, and near starvation and unbearable misery. The girl's aunt, who was also accused of witchcraft, dies in jail while the girls watch her die in hopelessness.
In the end, Abagail and Dorothy escape execution and are found innocent by the court-but for a heartbreaking price. :'(
