Indian Captive by Lois Lenski
The Story of Mary Jemison
After being taken from her frontier home during the French and Indian War, a young girl endures a harrowing journey and the loss of her family before being adopted by a Seneca community. As she learns their language and traditions, her fear and grief give way to understanding and affection. Through seasons of hardship and kindness, she discovers strength, builds deep relationships, and ultimately faces the choice between returning to her former life or embracing her new identity among the people who have become her family.
