Review
Pocahontas has long been a favorite character of mine, and Wendy Lawton brings her to glorious life in The Captive Princess. Through Lawton’s excellent research and vivid writing, Pocahontas walked out of the dense forest and into my heart. This book is a treasure!
-Angela Hunt, author of Uncharted
I jumped at the chance to read Wendy Lawton’s latest book, The Captive Princess, because of her previous stories. Again, she wove her literary magic. Always true to historical facts and able to infuse spiritual truths naturally, Wendy Lawton is a master storyteller.
-Donita K. Paul, author of popular Christian fantasy, including The DragonKeeper Chronicles
What a delightful insight into the life of Princess Pocahontas. I wanted to be her best friend and live the same adventure! From the first page to the last, The Captive Princess enchanted me.
