Her little sister, captive with her, sadly did not survive at all. But it makes me think how often we are captive to the things in our lives and when we try to break away and be free don't have the support of others. It is always a blessing when we do! But the way those returning from captivity were treated was often so cruel. Author Susan Page Davis wrote a a wonderful series, White Mountain Brides, each novel about an Indian captive and their stories of redemption. I highly recommend this series.Carla Gadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793809172905144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-21403150990548428982012-10-20T01:20:20.611-04:002012-10-20T01:20:20.611-04:00Thank you, Kay, and Carrie.

There is a reason for everything, and I have no doubt that there was a purpose for me writing a western as my first novel as he loved them so.

Now I have earned my 3rd entry.<br /><br />I hated the way the white people treated their women if they came back after being with the Indians. They weren't there by choice. To them these women were worthless now.

It is such an important element to me to include and I love weaving the character's faith journey throughout, as you'll also see in Colonial Courtships right from the first when Constance is feeling like her prayers may have fallen upon deaf ears. But she will realize that the Lord has been listening to her heart all along, even when she didn't realize what her own heart was speaking. I love Christian fiction and enjoy seeing the many creative way that authors incorporate the spiritual message into the story without the sound of preaching.
