(3) YA Sold at a pauper's auction in 1793, Deliverance Pelton must learn to adjust to a new life on the frontier. She finds that people are not what she had been taught to believe: white people are not all "good" and Indians are not all "evil." Fourteen-year-old Livy's struggle with her own obstinacy makes her truly human in this well-written novel. A historical note is included. Glos.
Reviewer: Jeannine M. Chapman
