beautiful Gift copy.

Standing in the Light was a wonderful Dear America book, and one I could read over and over.
It tells, in diary form, about 13 year old Caty Logan who is growing up in her Quaker village in the 1760's. She is perfectly happy, with boys, learning housewifery, and schoolwork to keep her busy - but that all changes one day when she and her younger brother are captured by Lenape Indians.
At first Caty is desperate: she hates living with the rough Indians, who watch her diary writing curiously and force her to follow their Indian ways. But later, she learns that they are good people, though different than the Quakers, and she begins to make friends - and loved ones.
This was a great book! You really care about what will happen, if Caty will stay with them or return to her village. It is a great and interesting story!
