In the spring of 1651, nearly half a century before the infamous witch trials of Salem, Massachusetts, a woman known as Goody Bassett was hanged for witchcraft in Stratford, Connecticut. Few facts are known about this woman and the events surrounding her persecution. 
 This haunting and moving novel, crafted from those few facts as well as detailed accounts of Stratford's early history, tells the tale of young Ruth Paine -- later Goodwife Basset -- and how her singular experience beyond the confines of her Puritan world ultimately leads to her demise. 
 Rich in historical insight, The Stratford Devil gives a touching look into the painfully isolated world of an independent woman as she struggles to survive in circumstances beyond her control. With its focus on religion and terror, The Stratford Devil is a parable for our times.
