Penelope

Narrates the life of a woman shipwrecked in the 1640s on the shores of modern-day New Jersey, axed in the belly, half-scalped and left for dead by the Lenape Indians, then nursed back to health by them and taken into the tribe. And that's only the beginning. Penelope Scambly Schott has carefully researched the facts and woven them into a poetic page-turner.
