As the armed conflicts between the English colonies in
North America and the French settlements raged in the
1700s, a young Puritan girl, Eunice Williams, is kidnapped
by Mohawk people and taken to Canada. She is adopted into
a new family, a new culture, and a new set of traditions
that will define her life. As Eunice spends her days
learning the Mohawk language and the roles of women and
girls in the community, she gains a deeper understanding
of her Mohawk family. Although her father and brother try
to persuade Eunice to return to Massachusetts, she
ultimately chooses to remain with her Mohawk family and
settlement.
