A young girl, taken and raised by plains Indians, is captured and returned to her Christian family. Her struggle to assimilate to her family's ways is central to the story. Along with her failures in her struggle, comes insight and the eventual realization she must return to her Indian people if she is to survive. But her father, a pastor, is determined that she stay and adjust. How this conflict is resolved provides a gentle lesson in the power of mutual yielding and understanding. This is a wonderful story that can be read on more than one level.

This book is kind of strange, but the story is very sad and it has good, strong high points. I don't neccesarily recommend this book, but it's an interesting experience as well as educational, and mind-capturing

The main charicter seemed to be made out of stone, not flesh. She showed no feelings throughout the whole story. Even though her life brought her many challenges and sorrowes, she did not even bat an eye. She was not a believable charicter,and i was dissapointed by the novel over all.

When I wish a book wouldn't end or at least have another chapter or two it's been a good book for me. Some very delicate material was handeled quite nicely and the relationships are beautiful. I recommend this book to a young teen or any adult.

The book had am iteresting point of view for fow Native Americans act and how Causasions of that time acted. I believe it was a good book and worth while to read.

This book was truly moving and it was full of emotion. The character was believable, because the way she was brought up was not to show emotion, but to keep it all inside. You could feel her troubled soul through the author's words. Altogether, this was a great book.
