Daisy Hollins has come to Kingsbridge Common, a hamlet outside Boston, to teach English. She's left a bad affair behind her for a new start in this place that once was the home of her cousin Marta, who apparently died in an automobile crash some seven years before. She doesn't realize that her cousin's husband and son still live in this town.Daisy is modern and practical, and supposes the witch trials this area is known for to be a thing of the ancient past now in the this modern era of the 1970s. So she isn't prepared for these superstitious townspeople who still live in that past. Nor is she prepared for the hold Marta's family has on her.When Daisy rents a 'witch's' cottage in town, starts teaching what the people call 'the devil's works' at school, befriends a boy whose mother was labeled a 'witch, ' his 'devil' dog, and old Gert Bishop, another 'witch's' sister, the good people decide Daisy isn't like them. Furthermore, she develops an enemy in the most influential man in town.
