Unfortunately, when things go wrong with their cattle and crops and families, English neighbors suspect witchcraft and immediately point the finger at Lydia because of her otherworldly beauty. When the Sheriff of Lancaster begins to ask questions, Lydia is consumed by fear. To calm her friend and fill her with hope, Rose decides to make a commitment that will assure her friend she will never be abandoned to face her accusers alone.
