Ten-year-old Regina Hartman lived a quiet life on a farm with her parents, brothers, and sister in colonial Pennsylvania. But her quiet world is ripped apart when Allegheny Indians break into their home and murder her father and oldest brother. Regina and her sister are captured, marched over the mountains, where they meet with other Indians and their captives. Eventually separated from her sister, Regina is renamed Tskinnak, and begins her life in an Indian village.

My cousin sent me this book. She lives in Berks County, PA, where Regina was from. There is monument erected to Regina, explaining that she was held captive for over eight years. There is also a painting showing when Regina was reunited with her mother who had been away from the farm the day of the Indian raid.

This is a young adult novel. Depending on the person reading it, some may find the content disturbing. I was pulled right into the first-person account of Regina's experience. My rating: 4 Stars.
