Following the destruction of her village, Mary Rowlandson along with her children, are taken captive by the indigenous peoples in the area. Mary survives a harrowing journey through the wilderness, both physically and spiritually, and experiences many revelations throughout her time amongst her captors that challenges her worldview and her beliefs on faith and humanity. She finds that despite her struggle there is much to admire and enjoy about life amongst the first peoples. I would recommend this novel for those who have enjoyed "Caleb's Crossing", as well as those who enjoy historical fiction set in late 17th century America.
