Captured (The Captive Series Book 1)

Product Information

Quietly, she says, “I feel like I just spoiled the surprise. You’re not supposed to see any of this until the wedding night.” Meanwhile, after successfully recounting her story, her desire for freedom and her adventurous spirit got the better of her. She left Crisp, who was now languishing in financial ruin in India, and planned another journey, defining the next chapter of her life. The personal stories compiled in this history are significant in their own right, but when they are combined with family history it becomes very compelling. Zesch does his best to combine all the disparate biographies chronologically, inserting his Uncle Adolph’s story into that timeline as accurately as he can. He draws that story from family legend and the clues sprinkled throughout other histories. So why did Uncle Adolph accept the lifestyle and beliefs of the people who kidnapped him? Why couldn’t he ever fully abandon them? Will we really ever know? This synopsis says it's for YA readers but I think it's also appropriate for middlegrade. There's torture in here, but usually it's phrased very vaguely (along the lines of ""They took him away" followed by When they were done...") although there are a few more graphic descriptions. Even so, it never feels gratuitous and it is clearly meant to show that these are the things that temporarily broke Jerry and made him go along with what his captors wanted.

Life of woman beloved in Offaly town who lived to 107

This is a non-fiction biography of navy aviator Jeremiah Denton, who was shot down and captured during the Vietnam War and spent seven and a half years as a prisoner of war of the North Vietnamese. With a desperate need to raise funds and find employment, he set sail for India in 1769 to work for the East India Company in Bengal. Captured takes place during the conflict between North and South Vietnam, with the U.S supporting the south. A pilot named Jerry Denton had his jet shot down and was found by northern Vietnamese soldiers. He was taken as a prisoner along with hundreds of others. He and all other prisoners battled through the toughest living conditions imaginable. The book describes how he survived the ordeal. Zesch explains how each had grown to resent white society and what it had and was continuing to do their Native family. In fact, many had come to fully understand the horrific raids against them and their families, and felt little to no resentment over them. There was also a lot of explanation about horrendous crimes the United States committed against these groups, further providing a different narrative than what so many are accustomed to.

Betty, looking through binoculars, observed an "odd-shaped" craft flashing multicolored lights travel across the face of the Moon. [9] Because her sister had several years earlier said she had seen a flying saucer, Betty thought it might be what she was observing. Through binoculars, Barney observed what he reasoned was a commercial airliner traveling toward Vermont on its way to Montreal. However, he soon changed his mind, because without looking as if it had turned, the craft rapidly descended in his direction. This observation caused Barney to realize, "this object that was a plane was not a plane." [10]

Webb, Walter. "A Dramatic UFO Encounter in the White Mountains, NH." Confidential report to NICAP. October 26, 1961. [2] This non fiction focuses on the trauma, experiences, and more during the time of the conflict. The book begins from when Jerry was taken prisoner, to when he blinked Morse code “Torture” during an interview, to the connections and secret codes he helped the other POW’s form. This YA book is well researched and documented and parts of it deal with the controversy of Americans not actually declaring it a war and how this effected the POW’s rights. Most intriguingly Zesch considers why supposedly ‘good’ children were so readily and often utterly willing to engage in raiding, and horse stealing. More painfully he also shows the death throws of the Comanches plains lifestyle, and how even when the captives yearned to return they recognized that the life they had loved was gone forever. Indeed, Adolph Korn’s cave looked out on the lands the Comanches once ruled, lands that were by his later years empty. The free living life of the Comanches ended and Korn was left staring at the empty visage of what once was and would never be again. Louise said: “I wrote this book three months after Gran passed. It was the hardest book I will ever write as my heart was so devastated and heartbroken at the time. I had recorded Gran through video and audio and for months I sat in her bedroom watching all the recordings over and over, taking the bits I felt people really needed to hear.

I was watching, loving and grieving my best friend all at once while sitting alone in her home; empty chairs being the hardest element to look at. Thankfully somewhere within myself, I found the strength to write the story of her life, and mine in many ways, and within nine months of starting it, I had it completed. I’m really proud of Gran and even if we don’t win the award, I know in my heart she will be in Heaven smiling from ear to ear as I will be doing on earth.
