I would give this book 10 stars if I could! A wonderful book. Cynthia Parker is kidnapped by the Comanches when she's very young and is raised as one of them. She marries Wanderer, one of her kidnappers, raises her children...then is found by her white family. VERY sad at the end, of course I cried! I believe this is a historical fiction account of Quanah Parker's mother. Quanah was the last great Indian chief of the Comanches, before they had to give up to the white man.

All of Lucia St. Clair Robson's books are absolutely terrific.
