The Red Heart Mass market paperbound - 1998
by James Alexander Thom
From the premier chronicler of early Native American life and the bestselling author of "Follow the River" and "From Sea to Shining Sea" comes a fact-based novel of a Quaker child raised by a frontier tribe following the Revolutionary War.
From the rear cover
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 this good-hearted family that Frances is 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 Little Bear Woman of the Miami Indians. Then, long after the Indians are beaten and their last hope, Tecumseh, is killed, the Slocums hear word of their long-lost daughter and head out to Indiana to meet their beloved Frances. But for Maconakwa, it is a moment of truth, the test of whether her heart is truly a red one.
