    About this audiobook

    A STRANGER IN HER OWN WORLD

    On a spring morning in San Jacinto, Kiowa and Comanche raiders massacred Silas Stone’s wife and two of his sons. And when they rode off they took Stone’s grandchildren—including pretty little Sarai—with them. Stone and his agents searched the West for the captive children and swore they would not stop until they were returned safe and sound. After ten years, they found the boys. But they could only hope and pray that Sarai was still alive. Then, twenty-five years after her capture, Sarai Stone returned to the white world…But could she ever truly come home?

    Author

    Cynthia Haseloff

    Cynthia Haselhoff was born in Vernon, Texas, and named after Cynthia Ann Parker, perhaps the best-known of 19th century white female Indian captives. The history and legends of the West were part of her upbringing in Arkansas. Haselhoff once said, “I love the West, perhaps not all of its reality, for much of it was cruel and hard, but certainly its dream and hope…” The Chains of Sarai Stone is her sixth frontier novel.

      The Chains of Sarai Stone by Cynthia Haseloff is the story of one woman who has been reclaimed from the Comanche that kidnapped her fifteen years ago when she was still a child. She was adopted and grew up with the Indians, married and had children before she was recaptured by white men and returned to her family. She was given into the care of her uncle, a man who hated Indians and felt that his niece was little more than a savage. He had her placed in an iron collar and chained, and even though the townspeople thought he was going to far, no one interfered.The author didn’t hesitate to show how badly returned women were treated, and, in fact, many of these women committed suicide when they realized that they were unsuccessful at integrating back into white society. Sarai needed to discover whether she can adapt to becoming white again or does her heart still belong with the Comanche.Although based on the story of Cynthia Ann Parker, perhaps the most famous of all Indian captives, the author branches off from the original story and creates a new path for the main character to follow. Overall this was a fairly routine story although the author was born in Texas and was actually named for Cynthia Ann Parker. She obviously knows her history and what terrible conditions captive women were placed under both by the Indians and then again when they were returned to their families.
