What is Crazy Woman about?
"Sane and shrewd and funny...The story of a woman whose captivity is divided equally between her life with her own people and her life among the Indians."<br> LILLIAN SCHISSEL<br> Author of WOMEN'S DIARIES OF THE WESTWARD JOURNEY<br> Sara Franklin is an outcast among her own white people. Her thirst for knowledge and spirituality is threatening to both her abusive father and her neurotic husband. When she is captured by the Apaches in New Mexico, they dub her "Crazy Woman," and treat her like a slave. Yet, as she begins to learn the ways of her captors, she earns their respect as a strong, clever, even magical, woman. And when her innate sensual hunger is tempted, challenged, and finally satisfied by an Apache warrior, Sara finally embraces her whole self at last, body and soul....<br> <p>A brilliant first novel about a woman captured by the Apaches, combining feminist and Native American themes. Taken prisoner while on a religious mission, Sara Franklin goes from slavery to earning respect--as a strong, clever, even magical woman. "Striking. . . . Wonderful in its poetry, humor, mysticism, and clarity."--Albuquerque Journal. </p>
