Publisher's Summary

In 1836, when she was nine years old, Cynthia Ann Parker was kidnapped by Comanche Indians. This is the story of how she grew up with them, mastered their ways, married one of their leaders, and became, in every way, a Comanche woman. It is also the story of a proud and innocent people whose lives pulsed with the very heartbeat of the land. It is the story of a way of life that is gone forever.

So good!

The book had a brutal and graphic start describing the Indian raids. I almost quit listening to it because of that but I’m glad I persevered because it was an excellent read. Very captivating.

Totally loved this story...

This was a story that could truly take one back in time to better understand what life was like for a proud people, and feel the strength in everything that they did. It also allowed one to feel the inevitable hopelessness as their gallant way of life was taken from them. A tragedy...
