There were also some parts where the religious elements were put in there too much, but I knew nothing about the Quakers, so it was sort of interesting to read about how the Quakers initially wanted to respect the Lenape people who lived in Pennsylvania. The main relationship sort of made me uncomfortable, too, as it involved a thirteen year old captive falling in love with a seventeen year old who was one of her captors. It seemed to lack depth and I got bored of the story in the middle of the book. Standing in the Light is probably my least favorite book in the Dear America series (out of all of the ones that I’ve read). TW// death (including babies, children, animals, mothers), mentions of murder, violence (including scalpings + violence against animals, children), mention of vomit, racism, mentions of depression/suicidal ideation >
