A miraculous survival. An extraordinary faith. Autumn 1755. Settled in the Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania, deep within America’s new frontier, the Leininger family celebrates the blessings of a beautiful homestead and bountiful harvest. Until tragedy strikes with the beginning of the French-Indian War, and the devastating raid known as the Penn’s Creek Massacre. The lives of this simple, God-fearing family are forever altered when Barbara and Regina, two young sisters, are carried away by a band of Allegheny warriors. Driven by their faith in God and the powerful bonds of family, Barbara and Regina hold firmly to the belief that they are never alone, even in their darkest hour, and that they will be reunited again.

In this story that takes us back in time to the beginning of the French and Indian War we travel to the beautiful and peaceful Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania. There Tracy Leininger Craven introduces us to two of her brave ancestors, Barbara and Regina Leininger. During this peaceful time with the Indians no one would have dreamed the unimaginable horrors that were on the way to this quiet area.This story tells us how these two precious girls were taken captive after their father and brother was killed trying to protect them. Sometime after they were taken they were separated and neither knew if the other had survived. But the memories of their family and their faith and trust in God sustained them through those horrible years. During this time they both remembered the scripture they were taught and the beautiful hymns their mother would sing to them.This story is one of a deep faith in God which these girls learned from a very young age. It is a faith that kept them through their darkest hours when they were snatched from their family and it kept them through the long years they were held in captivity.While reading this story I found myself being drawn in by the way in which Tracy tells it. Her details are very good and I found that I was able to picture the scenes as I read them. I was deeply moved while reading it; it brought me to tears reading what they had to endure and then to utmost joy to know these young ladies, even at the cost of their own lives, never gave up their faith in God and His power to deliver. Thank you Tracy for sharing this powerful story with us.I was given a copy of this book by Zondervan in exchange for my honest opinion.
"Alone Yet Not Alone," is one of the most readable books I have ever read. After chapter three it is impossible to lay it down. It assumes Christian virtues, values, and actions and presents them in such a way that it makes you want to assimulate them into your own life. It is a definite must read for all early to late teens. It probably will become a staple in the Christian families library.
I loved this book! My friend told me to read it, and I did. It was so exciting that I couldn't put it down! This book is highly engrafted in spiritual truth, and the plot is wonderful. The way that the leininger family depends on God and trusts Him always and the way that they care for eachother and their friends is very heart warming. This is a definate must read for all ages. If you have read and liked "Standing in the Light" a Dear America diary, then you will love this.
I ordered this book for my 11 year old daughter who loves American history and Indian culture. I read it first and thoroughly enjoyed it.Barbara Leininger is torn from her family during an Indian raid and forced to adapt to the Indian culture. Before she is forced into marriage with an Indian brave, she escapes with 3 other captives. Together, they must travel 300+ miles on foot to reach freedom. Living as an Indian was not easy nor was her escape. Yet through it all, she maintained her faith and her determination to see her younger sister again.This is an inspiring story for everyone. I am thankful for Zondervan who provided me a free copy of this book in exchange for my review which I freely give.
A true story written by a very young author, tells the story of faith, bravery, family and hope. The message of "never giving up" is timeless.
Cute little book, tame story with little excitement. Interesting account of sisters who were captured by Indians and taken hundreds of miles from home. I haven't seen the movie made from this book but suppose it was made more interesting with lots of action and good scenery. Great book for preteens.
it is an intriguing story, but I was disappointed not to learn more about the Indian culture into which the girls were submerged. It is simply told, inspirational, but better for an immature audience.
What an intense story. I look forward to the movie coming out. Amazing how the Lord works and moves in our lives!
