Summary
In this historical-fiction narrative, John Demos shares the story of Eunice Williams, a young Puritan girl who is kidnapped by Mohawks and taken to Canada. There, she is adopted into a new family, a new culture, and a different way of living. Both instructed in the Mohawk language and customs and catechized in the Roman Catholic tradition, Eunice spends her days learning to plant and harvest food and tan animal skins, among other chores. Although her father and brother try to persuade Eunice to return to Massachusetts, she ultimately chooses to remain with her Mohawk family
