I found this to be a well written and researched historical.Set in the Indian territory around Philadelphia at the time when the English were fighting the French for the new lands. The heroine Rebecca was captured by an Indian tribe, the Caughnawagas, when she was nine years old and as a white captive they treated her cruelly. After three years she was rescued by a band of Lenapes and was virtually brought up as one of their own by Snow Woman in the village of Amigaki.Englishman, Daniel Chamberlain is a fur trader, and in the course of doing business with the Lenapes he falls in love with Rebecca or Tankawan as she is known by the Indians. Theirs is a true love story. They find each other, then are wrenched apart, and danger stalks their every step in these turbulent times. Rebecca is torn between the Indian and white man's culture, but she cannot live without Daniel.A true romantic will love reading about Daniel and Rebecca's long and sometimes tortuous journey to happiness.Margaret
