A miraculous survival. An extraordinary faith. Autumn 1755. Settled in the Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania, deep within America's new frontier, the Leininger family celebrates the blessings of a beautiful homestead and bountiful harvest. 

Until tragedy strikes with the beginning of the French-Indian War, and the devastating raid known as the Penn's Creek Massacre. The lives of this simple, God-fearing family are forever altered when Barbara and Regina, two young sisters, are carried away by a band of Allegheny warriors. 

Driven by their faith in God and the powerful bonds of family, Barbara and Regina hold firmly to the belief that they are never alone, even in their darkest hour, and that they will be reunited again.

Here are my thoughts:

An amazing recount of survival in horrendous conditions, Alone Yet Not Alone is an action packed book preteens and teens will appreciate for the dramatic events this courageous family encountered!
Life in 1755 was hardly easy for those living on the frontier bordering the mountains of Pennsylvania. For most, this represented however the only opportunity for freedom from indentured servitude or slow starvation in the old country.

Based on true facts this tale recalls the story of a group of children captured by Indians and taken far into the wilderness to become members of their tribe. 
But there is where this inspirational story truly begins! What sets Barbara and Regina apart are their unwavering faith in God and their belief in each other.

Separated, each girl is inducted in the Allegheny tribe and continuously look for ways to escape. When eventually the right time emerges, theirs become the stuff of legend as they made their escape with other captives! 

Pursued by their captors unrelentlessly, these children eventually found their way back to their families. This is their story, an extraordinary tale of survival filled with Christian values and biblical teaching!

Author's Tracy Leininger Craven love for History is immediately apparent in this debut novel you will not want to miss!
