Description
In June 1806, Susanna Quiner's life is forever changed when her four older sisters are kidnapped by a band of Potawatomi Indians from their cabin on the edge of Ohio's Great Black Swamp. With both parents dead and the other settlers out in the fields, Susanna embarks on a perilous journey to find them. As she navigates the treacherous landscape, Susanna encounters various individuals who aid or hinder her progress, including a Moravian missionary village, a young native girl, an eccentric white woman, and a Wyandot longhouse. Her quest is paralleled by that of Seth Spendlove, a man who sets out to reclaim his heritage after discovering his father's involvement in the kidnapping. Through her experiences, Susanna transforms into a capable woman, enduring hardship and danger as she searches for her family. Ultimately, she finds them, though they too have undergone significant changes.
