Come learn the harrowing story of the hanging of witches in Colonial New England that continues to haunt our present-day imagination. The trials and executions of witches in Connecticut predated the more famous Salem witch panic by over 40 years.

Reviewed by Reader John Ihn “Not Privileged to Know has an exceptional plot delivered in an out of the ordinary writing style. The author has two styles in this tremendously interesting story. His in-depth perceptions of what the characters are thinking and his use of specific developmental conversations give added insight into a very unique and exciting plot.
