An Exciting Read!

I read this book not too long after it came out and I found it riveting! It's one of my all time favorite books! Hannah Wade is a beautiful officer's wife who gets captured by the Apaches. Any other gentle-born lady would kill herself rather than live after being violated by an Indian, but Hannah was determined to survive. She learns quickly from the harsh treatment and begins to settle into the Apache life. But always in the back of her mind was the desire to escape. This story goes into graphic detail of her horrible experiences and and the cruel treatment she receives after rescue. Only the love of one man strong enough to respect her strength helps her see a promising future. This book made me laugh and cry. It gave a glimpse into the Apache life and way of thinking as it revealed the pettiness and bigotry against them. There were also other characters that supported this story that made it hard to put the book down. There wasn't graphic sex, but there was adventure and suspense. I'm going to buy it to keep forever!
