Publisher's Synopsis
The year is 1692, and Salem Village is shrouded in whispers, secrets, and fear.
For ten-year-old Adalee Turner, life has always been simple-helping her grandmother tend the herb garden and exploring the woods with her best friend, Mercy Carter. But when mysterious events start striking their village, rumors of witchcraft begin to spread like wildfire.
Adalee's quiet world is upended when her grandmother's healing herbs and Mercy's family become entangled in the growing hysteria. Friends turn into accusers, and trust fractures under the weight of fear. Suddenly, Adalee's once-peaceful life is thrown into chaos.
But Adalee isn't one to simply sit back and let fear take over. With her unbending courage, and relentless curiosity, she sets out to uncover the truth. Yet the deeper Adalee digs, the more she believes that the real danger may not lie in the supernatural. She feels something-or someone-hidden in the shadows is pulling the strings.
With danger at every turn, can Adalee find the truth, save her Grandma, and draw Salem back from the brink of destruction?
Friendship in the Shadows is a thrilling, heart-pounding story of bravery and loyalty that brings one of the darkest horrors in American history to life.
Join Adalee as she discovers the enduring power of courage and friendship, even in the face of overwhelming fear.
