Stories bound by their roots in history The past comes knocking with accusations of witchcraft. A child miner learns there is value even in cruel, skin-shredding work. A young girl tumbles into a storm from a sinking ship, while hundreds drown in an historic flood. And more tales, most of them award winners, all inspired by historical events. Praise for Burman's story telling: Cheryl Burman is indeed a master story teller, painting images that transport you into the worlds that exist in her fertile imagination.
