Enjoy!Wow After reading this book, Standing in the Light, the first word that comes to mind is "wow" The book was so good that I actually read it in under an 2 hours. There is so much to learn about so many different things in this book. I love how the writer tells the morals of the stories through words and actions instead of saying "well today, I did this and that." The book is almost like a rollercoaster. At first I kept reading to see if Catherine would be able to talk to Jess Owen. Then a couple of days later she was abducted by Indians. At first she resented them more and more, but then she grew to love them more everyday even though she was in fear that the Quakers would turn her out if they found out how she felt about them. Then the book leaves the reader on the edge of his or her seat even more when she falls on love with one of them and wants to spend the rest of her life there. But one of the things that I love most is that she changes so quickly from a headstrong school girl to an adult, and even though she is scared that she will be turned out by her father, she keeps writing in the diary for him. If you read the book then you won't regret it. And if you really read it carefully, then it will make you think about things you never thought about before or maybe if you have thought about them it will make you think about them in a different way then you did before. It''s definitely a five star book
