Standing in the Light

Standing in the Light by Mary Pope Osborn is a book written in diary format about a young Quaker girl in Pennsylvania in 1763. Her family's small cabin is surrounded by a small community, forest, and the many natives hiding there.

Catherine Carey Logan's biggest problem seemed to be young Jess Owen. They had been friends last year, but this year she was either tongue tied, or saying too much. When it felt like nothing could possibly be worse, an Indian attack came, and her  brother and she were taken, then split apart to live in different camps. She will struggle to survive in  her new home with her new "family."

I read this book in a short amount of time. It was engaging and quick and I recommend it to really anyone. It is an adventurous, imaginative story of events that would actually happen on the frontier.
