What is a memory?

Massacre survivor Eliza Spalding Warren has terrible fears and memories of the time she spent as a captive of Cayuse Indians, when she was 10. She was the only one of the captives who could speak both English and the native tongue. Her beloved mother dies when she is a young teen, leaving her to mostly raise her two younger sisters. She grows up and continues to have blackouts from her past. She marries a man her father detests, thinks Mr. Warren is not worthy of his oldest daughter. The book takes you through her life, raising her daughters and dealing with her husband. Quite an enjoyable book, Jane Kirkpatrick takes a lot of history and weaves a story with a bit of fiction. Highly recommend.
