Summary:
"The setting is the beginning of an Amish settlement in colonial America in the forests of eastern Pennsylvania. There, a young Amish couple, Hans and Kate Zug, are in their ninth year of marriage, still waiting to have a child. Then, one April morning, Kate finds a Native infant, wrapped in deerskin and placed next to the spring where she went to fill her water bucket. Kate and Hans cherish
Hester
, despite the pointed question of Hans's mother--'What makes you think you can raise her Amish, with her Indian blood?'
Hester
glows as she grows, an unmistakable beauty both inside and out, and charms her adopted Amish community. But then, an elderly Lenape woman hands
Hester
a package of medicinal herbs to rout an infection that is threatening Kate'
s
life. A trust passes between the wizened and the youthful Native women. In that moment,
Hester
recognizes that she belongs to two worlds, both intent on possessing her. When Amish Indian
Hester
realizes that she must leave her tension-filled
home
for her sake and her father'
s
, she takes only two possessions: the leather-bound book of remedies left for her by the old Lenape woman and her memories of the Amish ways"--Amazon.com.
