This is a great story of Mary, a 16 year old white girl taken hostage by Indians in the Ohio Valley. The story follows her as she is adopted by two Seneca sisters who have lost thier brother to a raid by the white men. She is tramitized but treated well and gradually learns the ways of the Seneca as well as their language. She eventually marries and is given the opportunity to stay or return to the land of the white man. She stays. I enjoyed the historical information as well as reading about Mary's reaction to life with the Seneca. The book is a quick read.
