Wilhemina (Willa) Obenchain is a young woman caught between two worlds; something that many of us struggle with, albeit much differently. At 14 years old, she was ‘adopted’ (read abducted/kidnapped) by the Mohawk Indians. She grew to love this culture, even getting married and having children.
After tragedy struck, Willa returned to her home. All she knew had been scattered to the winds as a result of the Revolutionary War. The white man hated the Indian. She was biologically ‘white’, but Indian in heart and soul.
With strength and courage, Willa must learn how to marry her two cultures through a plethora of events…poverty, hate and humiliation.
One of the things that I really love about reading books of this genre, is the fact that you learn so much history. Most of us wouldn’t find it interesting to sit down and leisurely read through a history book, but when history is wrapped in a great story, you learn almost without even realizing it.
Anyone would enjoy this story – the protagonists, the heroes (yes, plural) and the heartwarming story.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review, but the opinions are 100% my own.
