The Puritans, who called themselves "the Godly," left England for a nineweek voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to a land that offered new beginnings. During the "Great Migration," 1630-1640, more than 20,000 would arrive in Colonial New England seeking to establish communities that strictly applied their version of civil law and their interpretation of God's commandments. Nathaniel Darling, a farmer, and John Wilmont, a humble toolmaker, were third generation New England Puritans, each having a wife and children, and both living in Salem Village, Massachusetts. Fate would test their courage and their wisdom and would unexpectedly force them to come to grips with the madness that had infected their patch of earth in 1692, when "the Godly" became "the Ungodly" and accusations of witchcraft and the fear and stench of death infected their community like an outbreak of deadly smallpox. The outcome of their entangled and unfinished stories would live for three centuries and would not find resolution and redemption until 300 years later in the small towns of Mattituck, Long Island, New York, and Salem, Massachusetts. With the help of Dr. Emanuel Kanter, a psychiatrist, and Cynthia Copely, a psychic, the answer would at last be found and a soulful journey would find its ending. BRETT STEPHAN BASS is an attorney-at-law who began his professional career specializing in corporate litigation and appellate work. Leaving an active legal practice to become a business entrepreneur, he retired at age 50 to study science, art, literature, religion, and philosophy, to travel the world with his wife, Rosalind, to hone his skills as a photographer, and to write extensively about a variety of life experiences. He is the author of Eulogy and he and his wife reside just outside of New York City.
