The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe

Connie Goodwin is supposed to spend her summer doing research for her dissertation...until her mother calls and asks her to take care of the sale of her grandmother's home in Salem, MA. On her first night there, Connie discovers evidence of a book of recipes left by a woman named Deliverance Dane. She launches on a quest to find this book and more information about the author. Moving back and forth between the Salem Witch Trials of the 1690s and the modern (well, 1991) day, this book provides a fascinating look at how we view "different" people. I liked it!
