In 1755, as the French and Indian War begins, ten-year-old Regina is kidnapped by Indians in western Pennsylvania, and she must struggle to hold onto memories of her earlier life as she grows up under the name of Tskinnak and starts to become Indian herself. Set in the mid-18th century, this is the story of a young girl's years of captivity by Indians. In this novel based on a true story, a white girl who is kidnapped by Indians at the age of 10 becomes so assimilated into the tribe's culture that she can't remember anything about her early years when she is rescued 9 years later.
