Based on the improbable true story of the last woman found guilty of being a witch.
Helen was a prickly Scottish mother of six eking out a living, traveling around Great Britain as a performing medium. Some would say phony medium. She knew all of the tricks - the trances, the seances, the ectoplasm made of cheese cloth - because, after all, when people want to believe, it doesn't take much. It was the height of WWII in England, and Helen started seeing images of an explosion along with the faces of young, terrified sailors sinking to their death in a massive ship. Unbeknownst to her, what she was describing in extraordinary detail was the highly classified sinking of the HMS Barham. When word got out, fear swept through Churchill's administration. The invasion of Normandy was secretly being planned and they began to suspect that Helen Duncan might actually have the power to predict and to reveal details about the invasion. So, to silence her, she was hunted down, arrested, tried and jailed . . . for being a witch
"Facinating story...The reader is immersed in the story and the world." - Screencraft
Fans of Salem and Darkest Hour will love this high stakes book. (Screencraft)
Author Biography
When Harper graduated from Brown University with a history degree, there was no inkling that a career as a writer would follow. After running a successful business for years, then launching the Social Impact Conference to support business owners, artists and activists dedicated to positive social change, Harper realized that story-telling was fundamental to changing the world and that history housed the greatest stories of them all.
Harper especially enjoys finding important but forgotten, or misunderstood, figures from history and bringing them back to life so that the reader can learn about them firsthand. Some recent favorite books include Strange Angel (George Pendle), Billion Dollar Whale (Bradley Hope, et. al), and Revolution (Russell Brand). Why don't you join Harper on a "roller coaster ride through history" that you never knew existed?
