Synopsis
Twelve-year-old Marie LeRoy has been trying to be a good mistress to her farming family-now dwelling on the Pennsylvania frontier. But nothing prepares her for the brutal attack on her home and other farms along Penn's Creek in October 1755. Taken prisoner, she and her friend, Barbara Leininger, live among the Delaware Indians for 3 1/2 years. In this personal and candid retelling of a true experience, Marie describes a hard, sometimes violent life mixed with brief moments of plenty, generosity and friendship. Moved to central Ohio-far from any rescue-she must find the courage to join Barbara and two other prisoners in an escape that can only mean death if recaptured. Historical fiction for ages eleven and older.

About the Author
Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Michael "WES" Loder has lived in eight different states including two years on the Navajo Indian Reservation. He has been an Air Force officer, a professional photographer, photo technician and audio-visual specialist. He worked as an academic librarian for more than 30 years--25 of those years as the Head Librarian for the Schuylkill Campus of Penn State. In between all these jobs, he helped raise three children, learned to play the highland bagpipe and designed and help build his own passive-solar, off grid home in the Lehigh Valley.
Wes started writing when he was seventeen and has since completed over 25 stories, mostly aimed at young adult readers. His adult histories include The Nikon Camera in America, 1946-1953 , Paul Gill and his Long Beach Island Art and the more recent The Tenax II: Zeiss Ikon's Precision, Fast-action Camera. Taken Beyond the Ohio is his first venture into historical fiction for younger readers.
