Massacre survivor Eliza Spalding Warren has terrible fears and memories of the time she spent as a captive of Cayuse Indians, when she was 10. She was the only one of the captives who could speak both English and the native tongue. Her beloved mother dies when she is a young teen, leaving her to mostly raise her two younger sisters. She grows up and continues to have blackouts from her past. She marries a man her father detests, thinks Mr. Warren is not worthy of his oldest daughter.
The book takes you through her life, raising her daughters and dealing with her husband.
Quite an enjoyable book, Jane Kirkpatrick takes a lot of history and weaves a story with a bit of fiction. Highly recommend.

Life and love are not always easy...
I have to admit that in the past I've had a hard time getting into this author's stories. But The Memory Weaver was entirely different. I only had it a few days and the cover kept calling, calling to me. I started to read it and could hardly put it down until I was done.
I first picked out The Memory Weaver because of the storyline. Having lived in Idaho for awhile I knew about the Lapwai Mission so I jumped at the chance to read a book about the people who lived there for a time. I was totally impressed, this book isn't just a shallow historical romance but is rather a deep look into the lives of two very real and quite extraordinary women.
I was captivated by the stories of the two Eliza Spaldings. The one who loved her work as a missionary teacher, frustrated with the whims of a missionary board thousands of miles away, who simply wants her traumatized daughter to find peace and happiness again. The other a girl, traumatized by what she experienced as a child, trying to control those around her, and trapped in unhappiness by memories that may not be completely accurate.
Jane Kirkpatrick has woven an emotional and thought-provoking story that will linger long in the reader's mind. A story that is steeped in history but every woman, no matter their age, can relate to. The Memory Weaver is a truly moving book that all lovers of historical fiction should read.
(I received a copy of this book from Revell Reads in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.)
