I'm not entirely sure why people have given this book 5 stars. The author uses outdated language and phrases that denigrate Indigenous people, children, and women. He uses the wrong (modern) street names for places in Boston that weren't labeled that way until the late 1800s/1900s. He meanders around the timeline which helps to confuse the story. He obviously wants the English colonists to be portrayed in the best light possible.
Long story short, I would avoid this book if you are looking to read about captivity stories of Massachusetts during the 1600s.
