On a humid day in June 1806, on the edge of Ohio's Great Black Swamp, 17-year-old Susanna Quiner watches from behind a maple tree as a band of Potawatomi Indians kidnaps her four older sisters from their cabin. With both her parents dead and all the other settlers out in their fields, Susanna makes the rash decision to pursue them herself. What follows is a young woman's quest to find her sisters and the parallel story of her sisters' new lives. One sister is left for dead, and two others are traded to a band of Wyandots for the price of a horse.
Susanna spends the next five months searching for them, unaware that the man who loves her, Seth Spendlove, is also in pursuit. Part Potawatomi himself, Seth unwittingly sets off on his own quest to reclaim his heritage. He allies himself with a Potawatomi named Koman, and together they canoe through the Great Black Swamp and into enemy territory looking for Susanna. Surviving snake bite, near starvation, and captivity, Susanna transforms herself from the perennial younger sister to a capable young woman determined to find her family. Thieving Forest is a riveting novel that demonstrates the true wildness of the wilderness and the rugged perseverance of those who find themselves there.

I listened to the whole story but I couldn't figure out if it was the reader or the story that was lacking. In the end, I think it was both.
I would say this is a book you can skip.

Would you consider the audio edition of Thieving Forest to be better than the print version?
I enjoyed the story very much, but it was very hard to get past the narration, it almost ruined this book for me. I almost want to read the actual book and hopefully fill in some of what I missed because the narrator was so distracting (in a bad way). I could NOT get past the narrator's girl voices for these young women. Simple sentences were delivered as whiny, borderline creepy and very irritating. I understand that in some instances, the protagonist was naive, but never whiny. I think there is a really solid, beautiful story here, but it is hard to find when listening to this as an audio book. Read the real thing instead.What was one of the most memorable moments of Thieving Forest?
The relationship between self and surroundings.How did the narrator detract from the book?
Very poor voice-over choices for these young women in the story. It actually makes you physically uncomfortable with annoyance and anger at such odd voice choices.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A journey of redemption.Skip the audiobook, read the real thing.
