A yielding, understanding spirit triumphs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
A young girl, taken and raised by plains Indians, is captured and returned to her Christian family. Her struggle to assimilate to her family's ways is central to the story. Along with her failures in her struggle, comes insight and the eventual realization she must return to her Indian people if she is to survive. But her father, a pastor, is determined that she stay and adjust. How this conflict is resolved provides a gentle lesson in the power of mutual yielding and understanding. This is a wonderful story that can be read on more than one level.
Really Moving
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book was truly moving and it was full of emotion. The character was believable, because the way she was brought up was not to show emotion, but to keep it all inside. You could feel her troubled soul through the author's words. Altogether, this was a great book.
I loved this very sweet and moving story

When I wish a book wouldn't end or at least have another chapter or two it's been a good book for me. Some very delicate material was handeled quite nicely and the relationships are beautiful. I recommend this book to a young teen or any adult.
Interesting view of culture and the ways of that time.

The book had am iteresting point of view for fow Native Americans act and how Causasions of that time acted. I believe it was a good book and worth while to read.
