Synopsis

During the Civil War Grandmother Kinzie welcomes her grandchildren to Chicago from Savannah, Georgia. To comfort the children she shares with them the true story of their great-grandmother, Nellie Lytle, who was captured by the Seneca Indians during the American Revolution. Only a child at the time, Nellie shows such strength and determination that her captors soon name her Little Ship Under Full Sail. Nellie faces many challenges beyond her traumatic and agonizing capture. With the help of a Seneca chief, Cornplanter, the chief's mother, and a young Indian friend, she learns to live in a new culture and overcome the grief of separation from her family. As time goes by Nellie bonds with her new family and becomes a "true" Seneca. But the problems are still not over as Nellie endures a serious illness and the treachery of a family member. Then, just as she celebrates her life as a beautiful you woman eligible for marriage, a visitor arrives in the village, and Nellie faces a heart-wrenching decision. In which world does she really belong if she is faced with a choice?
