Beautiful and interesting book!
This story is rich in historical detail, and one of the few to focus on what life was like for indentured servants in colonial America. It also gives a fascinating portrait of life in Highland Scotland just after the rebellion of 1745. I found the ending thought provoking but the author manages to lead the reader from the Highlands, through indenture, to Native American capture, and back, while commenting on the situation and culture of African slaves as well, all the while keeping up interest in a determined and lively heroine. A great historical read!
