About this ebook

This is a historical fiction novel, based on a true event that happened in 1725. In the early fall of that year, a woman, her two daughters, and maidservant were captured from their farmstead. They were kidnapped by the Mohawk Indians. This was before the French and Indian wars and Before the Salem Witch Trials.
She and her daughters spent one year and 26 days as a slave to the Mohawk Indians. This is the story of what happened during that one year and 26 days. It is the story of all the problems on the trail to the village, the things that happened in the village, and all the harsh parts of living an Indian life at that time. The beatings and the terrors that they endured during this time were incredible.
Meanwhile, many things happened back in the village of Salem because life does go on. The oldest son marries, has a fight with his father, and leaves home. The younger son becomes the heir apparent, as well as his fathers confidant.
Elizabeths husband went to Canada to Port Royal, to redeem his women. When they were finally redeemed by French, the youngest was unable to be redeemed at the same time. Her husbands attitude had changed when she got back. When Elizabeths husband went to Canada a second time to redeem her, he died. What was Elizabeth to do? The youngest daughter was finally brought home, and the questions were answered.

Author

Juanita Sterling

I am a widow with 4 grown children. I have written many short stories and poems, though my first novel…. Elizabeth, is my first to get published. I have written a multitude of short stories for my children when they were younger and my students when I was teaching. The very idea of submitting for publication was foreign to me, until after my retirement. My career has ranged from farming, general labor, skilled labor, sales, management, to teaching. I loved each of these for their own reasons. I am having particular fun, though, with my writing because I can craft people the way I think that they should be. Reading has been a passion of mine for my entire life. I read almost anything I can get ahold of, and write with many of these genres being crossed. My four grown girls have given me a total of eight grandchildren and I currently have 3 great-grandchildren. All of which give me great delight as they grow and start to become adults themselves.
