Ransom's Mark: A Story Based on the Life of the Young Pioneer Olive Oatman

By Wendy Lawton

When 13-year-old Olive Oatman's wagon train is raided by outlaw Yavapai Indians, she and her sister are captured. After enduring harsh treatment, they are ransomed by a band of Mohaves. Olive struggles to adjust to her new life, but finds comfort in her faith and in an unexpected friendship. When the time comes for her to return to the white world, she is afraid she will never fit in. But she learns to see the Mohave design tattooed on her chin as a sign of God's love and deliverence, a mark of ransom.

[trlchick25 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I have not been much of a reader, but when I picked this book up and started reading I couldn't put it down. It was easy reading and such an interesting story. It's a fun way of learning about the past. I recommend it to every girl out there.
