“I took a step. And then another. And so it went as we followed Father, who had come to take us forever away from Salem. And with every step I thought of my mother's courage as she faced her judges.

And with every step I thought, I am my mother's daughter, I am my mother's daughter...”
― Kathleen Kent, The Heretic's Daughter
