Tituba has magic powers. She is intelligent, sensitive, and capable. She cannot help but attract suspicion. The dark, West Indian woman, strange among strangers in Salem Village, dresses in black and often wears her hood pulled up over her extraordinary hair. 

Sally Hemings is a seamstress. With time and patience, her obsessive mind and unsettled hands can pull almost anything together. While she works, her imagination runs far and wide; beyond Monticello, beyond her master’s restrictive pen, rummaging through the past before fleeing quietly into the future. Sally has the secret gift of foresight.

Phillis Wheatley is a genius. She was only eight when she was kidnapped and shipped from Africa to America. To the Boston family that purchased her, it was obvious that the young creature had talent. She taught herself from her master’s books; a private and uncommon education. Phillis is a poet. Her poetry is stirring.
