When orphan Kit Tyler looks out over the icy, desolate beaches of Connecticut Colony for the first time, she realizes that her new home will never resemble the glittering Caribbean island she left behind. She feels like a tropical bird that has flown to the wrong area of the earth, a bird that is now trapped and lonely, in the strict Puritan society of her family. The meadows are the only location where Kit really feels free; there, she spends time with her young sailor companion Nat and the elderly Quaker known as the Witch of Blackbird Pond. However, Kit feels distrust, anxiety, and rage when his relationship with the "witch" is revealed. Witchcraft is alleged against her personally!
