C.M. Hébert
She endures a harrowing march north to what she imagines may be a life of slavery. But when they reach Montreal, a sudden twist of fortune brings Miriam to the acquaintance of the prominent Du Quesne family. The Du Quesnes introduce her to a life of luxury that she never could have imagined, and compel her to the most important decision of her life. Based on the actual narrative diary published in 1907, Calico Captive skillfully re-enacts an absorbing facet of history.

Critic reviews
"The constant shifts of locale and situation present narrator Hébert with an excellent showcase for her range of talents....But the very best part is the realistic, almost insider's, view of early American war, class structure, and prejudice." (AudioFile)
"Vital and vivid, this short novel based on the actual captivity of a pre-Revolutionary girl of Charlestown, New Hampshire, presents American history with force and verve." (Kirkus Reviews)

It’s amazing how a civilized people can behave savagely to each other. It’s also amazing how people then managed to survive horrible circumstances that would probably kill a modern person.
I recommend this terrific listen.

yes- it is exciting! Gives a glimpse into the life of captives-- shows how different personalities rise to meet daunting situationsWhich scene was your favorite?
the scene where Susannah gets her children backAny additional comments?
The story was thought provoking and enjoyable--- but the ending was so abrupt that it made you wonder if the writer had left it unfinished for a while-- and then came back to the story just wanting to 'get it done and published, already!"Exciting-- unexpected twists-- ended too abruptly
