Kit must move from the Caribbean to the stern Puritan community in Connecticut. She befriends an old woman and is herself accused of witchcraft.
She is like a tropical bird that has flown to the wrong part of the world. And in the stern Puritan community of her relatives, she soon feels caged as well, and lonely. In the meadows, the only place where she can feel completely free, she meets another lone and mysterious figure, the old woman known as the Witch of Blackbird Pond.
Bu twhen their friendship is dicovered, Kit faces suspicion, fear, and anger.
