The year is 1763, Catharine Carey Logan lives with her Quaker family in Delaware Valley Pennsylvania alongside the Delaware Indians. This is her diary and it shows how fast things can change in an instance. She is captured along with her younger brother by some of the Lenape.

This is 100% the perspective of a 13-year-old mind. The lack of observation on the children's part as well as the quick to be in love part and wonder about who to marry was hard to stomach but this was a different era, this was expected of girls to be thinking and to dream about. Lots of stereotypes but it is good enough for two stars because like it or not parts of the book are a real look into life in the year 1763.
