Before Salem called her a witch, she was Bridget Oliver, wife of Thomas Oliver, my 10th great-grandfather.
Bridget's Girl is the first book of The Oliver Inheritance, a series that follows a ring and a letter passed from woman to woman for more than three hundred years, all the way down to me.
It's fiction, built on real records and real people. Bridget's marriages, her lost children, her trial, and her death are history. What she said when no one was writing it down is mine to imagine.
