Summary: Living in a rough Puritan missionary settlement that borders an Indian village, sixteen-year-old Rebekah is forced to choose between two cultures when she falls in love with a defiant Pawtucket medicine man.

Review: Many, many years ago, a good friend of mine recommended this book to me as it was her favourite. This was before the Internet became as big as it is now, and interlibrary loan wasn't as well developed either, so I was unable to find it anywhere. Though I have long lost contact with said friend, I still think of her from time to time, and when I accidentally stumbled across the book I knew I had to buy it.

A great book, and I understand why she recommended it to me, but it reminded me of everything that annoys me about religious fanaticals (Puritans here) and the treatment of the Native Americans. It always frustrates me when people tell others how and what to think, and especially when they use the Bible to back up ridiculous theories. Bah!
