In this historical-fiction narrative, John Demos shares the story of Eunice Williams, a young Puritan girl whose family is kidnapped by Mohawks and taken to Canada. There, she is adopted into a new family, a new culture, and a different way of living. Instructed in the Mohawk language and customs and catechised in the Roman Catholic tradition, Eunice spends her days learning to harvest food and tan animal skins in the lush wilderness. Although her father and brother try to persuade Eunice to return to Massachusetts, she ultimately chooses to remain with her Mohawk family and settlement. Filled with danger and excitement, Puritan Girl, Indian Girl is sure to captivate young readers.
