About the book
The Slocum family of Northeastern Pennsylvania are the best of the white settlers, peace-loving Quakers who believe that the Indians hold the Light of God inside. It is from the good-hearted family that Frances in abducted during the Revolutionary War. As the child's terror subsides, she is slowly drawn into the sacred work and beliefs of her adoptive mother and of all the women of these Eastern tribes. Frances becomes Maconakwa, the Litter Bear Woman of the Miami Indians. Then, long after the Indians are beaten and their last hope, Tecumsch, is killed, the Slocums bear word of their long-lost daughter and headed out as Indians to meet their beloved Frances. But for Maconakwa, it is a moment of truth, the test of whether her heart is with a red one.
