Description
In 1618, the German duchy of Württemberg was gripped by fear and suspicion as the Thirty Years' War began. In the small town of Leonberg, a young widow named Katharina Kepler was accused of being a witch. Her illiterate but skilled use of herbal remedies and the success of her children, including her eldest son Johannes, who was a renowned mathematician, had made her a target for jealousy and suspicion. When a deranged woman accused Katharina of offering her a poisonous drink, Katharina's son Johannes was forced to defend his mother against the threat of financial ruin, torture, and execution. As Katharina tells her side of the story to her friend Simon, a reclusive widower with secrets of his own, the true nature of the accusations and the community's response to them is revealed.
