Library

If I could. I would spend all my time time at the library.  But seeing that I can't and there aren't enough good books, I go there as much as I can.  So quite a few of these books I will have borrowed from the library.

Indian Captive

I loved this book and COULD NOT put it down. It was really moving and actually MADE ME CRY! I tell you, that does not happen often, when reading books or watching films. Also this is based on a true story. This is probably one of my most strongly suggested books.#
Indian Captive
Captured by the Seneca.
Twelve-year-old Mary Jemison took her peaceful days on her family's farm in eastern Pennsylvania for granted. But on a spring day in 1758, some thing happened that changed her life forever. A band of warriors invaded the house and took the Jemison family captive. Mary was separated from her parents and brothers and sister. She travelled with the Indians to southern Ohio and later to a Seneca village on the Genesee River in what is now western new York. 
Mary's new life was not easy . She missed her family terribly, and she was unaccustomed to the Seneca ways. Several times she even tried to run away. But the Indians were kind to her and taught her many things about the earth, its plants, and its creatures. She became a sister to animals and to all growing things. Then Mary finally gets the chance to return to the world or the white men. But she had also become a sister to the Indians. How could she leave them?
Based on a true story, here is the unforgettable tale of the legendary " white woman of Genesee.
