I am fortunate enough to have met Ms. Samyn and heard her read her work, and I highly reccomend this book.

Lingistically interesting, splendid syntax, and many fine moments of lyricism as I'd expect from such a fine writer. But let's be real.

The dark eyes and quick wit of this fascinating young woman are just a hint of the depth and range of her work. I am fortunate enough to have met Ms. Samyn and heard her read her work, and I highly reccomend this book. Using an historical framework, the captivity narrative, a journal-like record of the ordeals endured by American settlers who were captured by Indians, Samyn explores a more modern meaning of lost and found, captive and free.

Wow! What a great book. I have also read "Rooms By the Sea" (you should read it!) by Mary Ann Samyn. I hope that everyone will love it as much as I did!!! (:
