Trouble's Daughter: The Story of Susanna Hutchinson, Indian Captive - Hardcover

by Katherine Kirkpatrick (Author)

In 1643, when Susanna Hutchinson is nine years old, her family goes to live in the wilderness near Long Island Sound. Her mother, Anne, is famous in the Colonies for her religious freethinking. Mother's visions have led the family in and out of trouble, and now have brought them to this isolated land, where the Dutch and the native tribes are at war.

One terrifying September afternoon, Lenape warriors descend upon the farm, massacre the family, and take Susanna captive. As they carry her off, someone calls her name. Someone besides Susanna has survived. Who is it? When will she be rescued?

Susanna is haunted by grief. Adopted into the tribe, she learns their ways and grows closer to her Lenape family. When she begins to have spirit dreams, she is terrified to think that she has inherited her mother's powers. Mother's visions caused such trouble and sorrow. But as she comes of age, Susanna sees that these powers are her destiny. Through them, she will serve her people and find the bridge between her two worlds.
