About this book
Sara Franklin of Roanoke, Virginia, has been threatened with incarceration in a mental institution by both her father and her husband. But when she is captured by Apaches in New Mexico and called Crazy woman, Sara begins to see her so-called insanity as power. First a slave of the apaches, then rival to one of the medicine men and lover of one of the warriors, Sara sees the Anglo world from a new perspective.
Here is a fictionalized captivity narrative where the captured, perhaps, prefers her captivity....
Combines a story of the Santa Fe Trail with the dilemma of a woman who doesn't quite fit the bounds of proper nineteenth-century behavior.
