About
In a wild country, the true cost of love may be more than they can bear
Beautiful and winsome, Betsy Zook never questioned her family's rigid expectations, nor those of devoted Hans--but then she never had to. Not until the night she's taken captive in a surprise Indian raid. Facing brutality and hardship, Betsy finds herself torn between her pious upbringing and the feelings she's developing for a native man who encourages her to see God in all circumstances.
Greatly anguished by Betsy's captivity, Hans turns to Tessa Bauer for comfort. She responds eagerly, overlooking troubling signs of Hans's hunger for revenge. But if Betsy is ever restored to the Amish, will things between Hans and Tessa have gone too far?
Inspired by true events, this deeply layered novel gives a glimpse into the tumultuous days of prerevolutionary Pennsylvania through the eyes of two young, determined, and faith-filled women.

My review;
I have read a lot of books by Suzanne Woods Fisher and I really enjoyed this one. "The Return" tells us of a time that was long ago. Betty Zook is going to have to make a decision about her future. She is being held a prisoner by some Indians who have taken her from her family and all that she has ever known. Her boyfriend has even started to like someone else. Would she want to return to her past life if she could? What if no one is waiting for her? What can she do so that she can get free? Then there is an indian that she is starting to like... I give this book a 5/5. I was given a copy by Litfuse Publicity. This is my opinion.
