Great historical fiction

The Amish Princess by Patrick E. Craig is not your usual Amish story and yet it drew me in right from the beginning. Set in the 1700s, the author brings to life a turbulent time with nuance and sensitivity. The story is replete with a rich history of the Indian tribes of Western Pennsylvania and Ohio, a story full of sacrifice, bitterness, vengeance, and also of faith, family, and love. Scenes are described with finesse and subtlety and the vivid characters are well-rounded and realistic--all their flaws, foibles, and faults are there along with their strengths and humanity. The scenes were such that the reader could feel as though they were right there in the midst of the action, feeling the emotions of the characters as they experience the various dilemmas and happenings in their lives. This is the first book I have read by the author and I look forward to reading more. I read a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
