Trouble's Daughter: The Story of Susanna Hutchinson, Indian Captive

247 pp. | Delacorte | September, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-385-32600-9 $$14.95
(3) 4-6 Based on a historical incident, this story is told in Susanna Hutchinson's voice, as she describes seeing her family massacred by Lenape Indians in 1633, and then being kidnapped and adopted by the tribe. She adapts to Native life and even conjures mystical visions, making her eventual return to colonial society a bittersweet experience. Susanna's ambivalence is convincingly portrayed in a novel filled with authentic detail.
