📘 A country of strangers by Conrad Richter

A white girl is captured by Delaware Indians, raised among them, and later returned to her white homeland. She struggles with the stark differences between her Indian upbringing and the white culture she once knew. Instead of welcoming her back, her family—both her father and sister—rejects her, reflecting the deep cultural divide and the personal turmoil she faces as she adjusts to a life that clashes with her former identity.
