Representaion During Books Alone Yet Not Alone
Autumn of 1755 bestowed to the Leiningers’ world, not only its rich beauties, but also a rewarding harvest. On this particular day the whole valley seemed to rejoice in the fullness of the season—but suddenly Barbara and Regina’s peaceful frontier life is changed forever. General Braddock and his army had been defeated and soon the Pennsylvania settlers would suffer the bloody effects of the French and Indian War. On October 16, 1755, a band of Indians, led by Allegheny warriors, stormed through Buffalo Valley, burned the Leiningers’ log cabin, and captured the sisters. Few survived the Penn’s Creek Massacre and even fewer lived to tell the story. Regina makes a promise to her older sister just before they are unwillingly separated—each to endure different fates. Barbara is taken deep into the wilderness, but holds on to the hope that she will find her little sister. Though she is adopted into the Indian tribe, there is a longing deep inside that cannot be denied. She must escape—but the penalty if caught is certain death. No one expresses Barbara’s apprehensions better than her own words, written in 1759: “If one could not believe that there is a God, who helps and saves from death, one had better let running away alone...The extreme probability that the Indians would pursue and recapture us, was two to one compared with the dim hope that, perhaps, we would get through...even if we did escape the Indians, how would we ever succeed in passing through the wilderness, unacquainted with a single path or trail…"Rating Epithetical Books Alone Yet Not Alone

The copy of the book I had was only 150 pages. lt is a story of two young German American girls who were captured by a band of Allegheny Indians when they raided their family's farm, and killed their father and brother. The story tells of the sisters being separated and how they relied on their faith in God to help them survive. Barbara, the oldest daughter escaped captivity after 3.5 years. The younger sister, Regina was released from captivity after a treaty was signed with the Indians toI loved this book! 5* for sure! But it kinda went too fast, if you know what I mean. It was a clumped together... it wasn't long and drawn out. But the book is one of the best Christian books I've ever read! Amazing!
This was a great story. We used it as out homeschool read aloud. I can't wait for the DVD to be released.
I was torn as to whether to label this book historical fiction or non-fiction. Told in concrete terms by a great-grand daughter of the protagonist in seeks to record as much as is known about the kidnapping of the Leininger sisters in 1755 from Penn's Creek, PA. Not only were their father and brother killed creating a devastating tragedy for the family, the raids marked the beginning of the French & Indian War (USA) or 7 Years War (Canada, France and England) which rocked the English
Its been a few years since reading it, but it was incredible when I did read it. I think I ended up reading it like, 8 times... so, it was good. :-)
We are currently studying the French & Indian War and I came across this book. The author, a young lady who was homeschooled, had heard about her ancestor who had been kidnapped by Indians during the war. Both her and her sister survived years of captivity and the author decided to retell their story. (One of the two had written her own account of this time.) Early in the book some Indians attack the Leninger homestead and take Barbara, age 12, and Regina, age 9, captive. Despite the girls'
Really enjoyed this beautiful novel. In fact it was more of a novella. Based on a true story set in 1755 in Pennsylvania, Barbara and her younger sister Reginas lives are torn apart when their home and family are destroyed by Indians. The two girls are captured and so the story begins.The story stays with Barbara for the entire novel and rips along at a cracking pace. Barbaras character is well drawn and you root for her and Regina all the way through. It is only her faith in Jesus Christ that
