With rigorous original scholarship and creative narration, Lisa Brooks recovers a complex picture of war, captivity, and Native resistance during the "First Indian War" (later named King Philip's War) by relaying the stories of Weetamoo, a female Wampanoag leader, and James Printer, a Nipmuc scholar, whose stories converge in the captivity of Mary Rowlandson. Brooks leads us to a new understanding of the history of colonial New England and of American origins.

Years ago Lisa Brooks took a self-development course and had to choose one word to define what she wanted to accomplish in her life — she chose "INSPIRE." Described as a pomegranate, Lisa is a single mom to a child with complex medical issues, has a graduate degree in healthcare, and is an ongoing student in the school of hard knocks. When life gives her lemons, not only does she make lemonade, she makes lemon bars, lemon meringue pie, and stellar lemon drop cocktails! Lisa approaches life as if walls and barriers won't stop her — and she will help you learn how to be unstoppable too.
