The only thing worse from being taken from your family is trying to find a way back to them when you don't know where to begin. For Taabe Waipu, she has spent her young childhood forgetting the language of her family, English, when she winds up in a Comanche village. It's either learn the language of the Numinu or starve and continue to be treated as an outside. So as a way to survive, she forgets the family she was remembers raising her until she finally grows old enough to find a way back home

While billed as a romance, Captive Trail is much more a book about identity. Taabe was kidnapped as a child and adopted into a Comanche family. As an adult, she ran away, wanting to return to a life, language and culture she could barely remember. Almost dead, she is found by Ned and some nuns. She lives with the nuns who, along with a young boarder, teach her English and the ways of the Americans. She is curious about the man on the torture stake that the nuns display everywhere, but we do

Captive Trail by Susan Page Davis ISBN-978-0-8024-0584-5
The second book in the Texas Trail – Morgan Family Series continues in the excellence of the first book. In Lone Star Trail we know that Billie Morgan and her horse were gone, Comanche's. They continued searching for her but assumed she may be dead. She was nine years old at the time.
Taabe Waipu is escaping the Comanche camp. She had an opening for escape and took it. She would not marry Peca and be tied down to the More...

I really didn’t think I was going to like this book. The story didn’t have a great deal of appeal for me, but the author did. I have read a few books by Susan Page Davis and I like her writing, so I decided to give Captive Trail a try and see if I would like it. For the most part, I did. I’m not a big fan of books with a lot of adventure like this book has, but I think Susan did a good job mixing in some romance and a lot of interesting history to help make this book more interesting for som

She was a little girl when the Comanches stole her from her white family. She has lived with the Comanches for years but a deep part of her has vague memories of her white family that her soul clings to.

I think I have mentioned I have a habit of picking up books because I’m attracted to the covers. This is yet another example. The contrasting blues and oranges are eye catching but there is something about the girl’s face, half hidden behind her hair that grabbed my attention.

Captive Trail is the second book I have been privileged to read in the Texas Trails series of books focusing on the Morgan family in the mid-1800's.
I found that the author, Susan Page Davis, brings to the story the sad plight of captives of the Comanche Indians who were, as children, stolen and assimilated into the life of the tribe either as family members or slaves. They were often sold or traded as slaves to other tribes

Susan Page Davis is an author whose books I've come to love. From her early days of writing for the Heartsong Presents Line to one of her newest series, The Ladies Shooting Club, I've been able to rely on her ability to supply excellent stories to the Christian fiction genre. For those reasons, I was eager to read her newest novel, Captive Trail.

When I have to put a book down for one reason or another and can't wait to get back to it, I know I'm into the story...have become a part of the characters' lives. I enjoyed every page of Captive Trail, the second book in the Texas Trails, Morgan Family Series. It made a five-hour car trip fly by.
This is an action story. So don't look for in-depth, gut-wrenching emotion revolving around Taabe's life with the Comanche, her conflicted feelings about that world, and her assimilation ba More...

Around the year 1845, Taabe Waipu was taken captive by the Comanche when she was a mere child. She was their slave at first. Not allowed to speak her own language and was made to learn the female role within the Comanche tribe. Once she learned that role she was taken in as a family member of the ones she worked and lived with. But she knew she did not belong and was determined to find her way to the home she could not remember. She fled the Comanche camp and the warrior who wanted her as his

In Captive Trail, Susan Page Davis creates an interesting tale woven with subtle suspense and sweetness. Taabe Waipu is a young woman with a complicated past - with most of her memories coming from her experiences as a captive in a Comanche tribe. As the title of the book would suggest, Captive Trail is mainly Taabe's story - escaping captivity and re-learning life as she once knew it - but some great secondary characters (from kindly and courageous nuns to a spunky and chatty young girl) round

My first introduction to Susan Page Davis was in her war historical Crimson Cipher, which I absolutely loved beginning to end and this Captive Trail is another one going on the keeper shelf. I was drawn in with the character of Ned and Taabe/Bille Morgan from the first few pages and it was hard to put down the entire time. I would have read it straight through if my toddler, newborn and the flu would have let me!

This is the second book in a six book series. The reader will feel transported back into the era of the late 1800’s with the specific details and feelings the author has created. The story brings anticipation as the plot unfolds and fear that the Indians will find Taabe before her family does.

I enjoyed Captive Trail especially since I had done some research on the Comanche tribe in Texas for my Texas Star of Destiny series. Susan Page Davis evidently did hers too. Right on target! Fans of the Old West will welcome another tale with classic elements--a beautiful captive, her rescuer and her pursuer. Susan Page Davis knows how to immerse her readers in the frontier setting. A compelling read, reminiscent of Louis L'Amour.
