Synopsis

He smelled again the musty stench. He gagged. He reckoned it to be the odor of blood, the rotting scalps that were tied to the Indian's belt recent victims. In his dread, he made no sound. Captive is the true story of a family torn apart by the hate, racism, and greed that consumed brutal colonial New England. Twelve-year-old John's parents and siblings are massacred by the Abenaki Indians, and he is abducted. Irrevocably separated from his loved ones, John must find a way to survive among his violent captors, using skill and wit to adapt. A full year after the horrific massacre of Groton, Jack continues to mourn the death of his brother's family and search for a way, any way, to find his nephew John. But in all that time there has not been a single lead about the missing children of Groton. Desperate and heartsick, Jack gambles on Hector, a Native American trader. The wily Indian swears to deliver John, but for an obscene amount of money. Even if the Abenaki are approached and John located, will Hector deliver the Captive? 'Captive is not 'dumbed down' history...I had goose bumps, anxiously wondering what would happen next!' Kara Fossey, Groton Historical Society The companion volume, Compelled, completes the story of Captive.
