In February of 1704, the settlement of Deerfield, Massachusetts, is attacked by Mohawk Indians. Eleven-year-old Mercy Carter is taken prisoner and adopted by a man named Tannhahorens. He forbids her to speak English and forces her to adopt Mohawk customs. Over time, Mercy grows attached to her captors and their lifestyle. She begins to wonder-if the English government offered ransom for her return, would she leave? Based on true events. Author’s note.
