  The Pendle Witches England 1600's 
  Book 5 of 7  Alice Nutter The Silent Lady of Roughlee 
  The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows: 
  Alice Nutter, the dignified Catholic widow of Roughlee Hall, became an unlikely victim of the 1612 Pendle witch trials. Unlike her impoverished co-accused, Alice was a wealthy landowner targeted for her discreet charity and suspected recusant faith. Falsely implicated by child witness Jennet Device, she refused to defend herself at trial to protect vulnerable tenants who could alibi her. Offered spectral escape in prison, Alice chose martyrdom over flight, declaring: "I will not run." On August 20, 1612, she was hanged without speaking a word in self-defense, her silence preserving both her honor and others' safety. Today, her statue in Roughlee memorializes this tragic injustice—a gentlewoman sacrificed to superstition and political vendettas. Local legend claims her ghost still walks Pendle Hill, a silent witness to history's cruelty.  
  This is the fifth book in a series of seven audiobooks and I do hope you enjoy ,(might not be the appropriate word, this instalment, and it's only $3 dollars. 
  the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2  minutes plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them.!

  Immerse yourself in The House of Eve, a stirring tale of family, resilience, and renewal that will inspire your own journey toward purpose. When interior architect Eden “Edee” Collins returns to her childhood home on Atlanta’s Westside, she confronts the ghosts of her past—her mother’s mysterious disappearance and the silent absence of her twin sister.
