N2  - Orphaned Kit Tyler knows, as she gazes for the first time at the cold, bleak shores of Connecticut Colony, that her new home will never be like the shimmering Caribbean islands she left behind. She feels like a caged and lonely tropical bird that has flown to the wrong part of the world in her relatives stern Puritan community.  The only place she feels completely free is in the meadows where she enjoys the company of an old Quaker woman known as the witch of Blackbird Pond.  She is viewed with suspicion and fear and is accused of witchcraft herself when her friendship with the witch is discovered
