Witch trials in Virginia?
Salem wasn't the first...
Psychologist Shae Howard treats a patient who claims to recall
nothing of the current century. Under hypnosis, Phoebe Wynne tells
an astonishing tale of an ocean crossing to Colonial Jamestown,
followed by near starvation and a daring escape to a nearby Indian
tribe.
Although Shae's ex-husband, seasoned police detective Lee Crowley,
is intrigued by Phoebe's story, he remains skeptical regarding her
claim that she's from the seventeenth century. A Native American
himself, he does, however, admit to feeling a kinship with
Phoebe. How is it that she seems to understand his pain and anger
at being caught between two cultures?
Phoebe shows Lee "the dreaming," which
reveals a misty world where the Powhatan people and Colonial
Jamestown come to life... and connects him to his own past. Is
Phoebe delusional? A witch? Or has she indeed traveled through
time?
