The story is set in a deep-south small town during the early 1900s.  Young Katherine Landers and her father, James, while walking past the town cemetery and stopping to rest, encounter the statue of the late Mr. Long.  It is during this first encounter that a sort of inside joke is created between the two and is relived throughout the course of Katherine’s childhood as they make their trek past the graveyard.  When tragedy strikes the Landers household in the form of James’s death and words are spoken that can never be taken back, Katie (Katherine) must find a way to work through the emotions that torment her and she does so by revisiting the place that holds so many dear memories of her father – the cemetery at the statue of Mr. Long.  It is when she greets the statue with her usual, “Hello, Mr. Long,” and receives a greeting in return, that she realizes her problems reach deeper than emotion and she must face the possibility that her sanity may be in question.  With her family and childhood sweetheart unsure how to go about dealing with her, Katie feels alone.  However, she is not unnoticed.  The sister of the town doctor has held a long standing grudge against the Landers family for reasons she thinks only she knows and uses young Katie’s conversations with Mr. Long as an opportunity to crush them once and for all.  Katherine is forced to come to terms with her emotional ghosts and at the same time, avoid the dangers of a town ready to see her committed.  Is he real or has she projected the memory of her father into a cold piece of stone?  Has the statue come miraculously to life or has Mr. Long Said Nothing?

It’s 1692 in Salem, MA and John Proctor’s wife is not pleased with the work of her young maid Abigail.  She dismisses her from their household becoming the target of Abby’s vengeance since she has secretly had an affair with and fallen for John.  After trying to conjure a love spell in the woods and being caught at her deviltry, Abby devises a way to get back at Goody Proctor for keeping her away from John.  Abby pretends to see witches and servants of the devil hiding amongst the townsfolk in the otherwise sleepy village. She convinces other teenage girls to help her in this sinister scheme, and she accuses Goody Proctor of being a witch!  Her plan falls apart when John, tortured by his regret, refuses to let his wife be punished for a crime she had no part of and throws himself into the clutches of the bewildered court.  Is no one safe from the malice of these girls?  Who will confess?  Who will defy the court and remain silent?  Who will deny the charges? And who will hang for witchcraft?
