White Woman
An engaging story of a girl caught up in a nightmare. She then found the strength to live a just life as a Seneca. Her male children were extremely mixed up people. She lead an amazing life and did her best to be a good person. She might have began life as an American, but she lived and dies as a Seneca. Great read.

Amazing book
I loved this book the courageous Mary seems like a real person that I have traveled a lifetime with. She was a wonderful mom and teacher to all who lives she touched.
