I'm trying to remember the name of a book I read when I was around 10 years old....... Don't know title or author. Help?

I'm trying to remember the name of a book I read when I was around 10 years old....... Don't know title or author. Help! My memory of the details of this book is very vague however I do remember that the main character was a girl who was mute/refused to speak.

I can't remember if she was white or Native American but I know she had some relation to a Native American tribe and something about losing her father. I believe she was taken in by a white family? And eventually she ran away to go back to the Native Americans?

And the book talks about like her journey and why she wouldn't talk and whatnot. Also I keep thinking of the name Chastity. I think it was the name of another character's daughter, not the main character, if that helps.

I could be seriously messing this up because it's been like 10 years since I read it but I've been trying to find it forever! It was so good. UPDATE: I found it.It's called Adaline Falling Star.

Grandpa: That's right. When I was your age, television was called books. And this is a special book.

It was the book my father used to read to me when I was sick, and I used to read it to your father. And today I'm gonna read it to you. The Grandson: Has it got any sports in it?

Grandpa: Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...The Grandson: Doesn't sound too bad. I'll try to stay awake.

Grandpa: Oh, well, thank you very much, very nice of you. Your vote of confidence is overwhelming. Grandpa: She doesn't get eaten by the eels at this timeThe Grandson: What?

Grandpa: The eel doesn't get her. I'm explaining to you because you look nervous. The Grandson: I wasn't nervous.

Maybe I was a little bit "concerned" but that's not the same thing. Grandpa: voiceover Nothing gave Buttercup as much pleasure as ordering Westley around. Buttercup: Farm boy, polish my horse's saddle.

I want to see my face shining in it by morning. Westley: As you wish. Grandpa: voiceover "As you wish" was all he ever said to her.

Buttercup: Farm boy, fill these with water - please. Sources: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093779/quotes .

Libraries across the country will lend you books and other materials, creating a vast collection that's easy for you to access.

Here's how: If you don't find what you're looking for in your library's catalog, ask a librarian to locate it elsewhere in the huge national loan network. Tell the pros as much about the book as you can. Title and author are most important, but publisher and publication date (or even a good guess at it) can be helpful too.

One day this young woman was looking in a mirror. The type of mirror on a stand that gives a full length view. I am not sure if she was trying on her wedding dress or what, but somehow she gets zapped into this mirror.

And ends upin a different time period. Seemingly she was still about to be married. Anyway time passed and somehow I think she gets zapped back to her time period only to learn that the man she married was her grandfather and tha she was her own grandmother.

I know it souds strang but it was a beautiful book that I would love to read again. I do not remember the title or the author's name. Help would be appreciated.

Thanx * Sarag 1/17/2010 10:43:04 AM I'm looking for a book I read as a child in the 70's at my dentist office.It was about a little boy who was small and wanted to grow tall like his parents. He was much smaller than his friends and he discovered when he yelled at them with his arms in the air he would grow. He kept "roaring" at his friends until he was a giant and then all his friends played on him like he was a mountain.

The illustrations are much like Peter Reynolds. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks!

* CurlyGirlCa 1/16/2010 8:44:48 PM The book I'm looking for was written in the 1970's - I thought it had Friends or Lovers in the title. It was a couple of families and I could swear that there was some sort of grocery store dynasty and the family that owned the grocery store's name had Van in the last name. There was killing of a I think of a boy in one of the families reminiscent of the Manson killings.

Also there was some sort of cabin in Big Sur that a lot of things happened at. Any help would be very much appreciated since I didn't realize it was missing til now. Sources: http://www.utne.com/2003-11-01/HowtoFindThatBookYouveSpentYearsLookingFor.aspx .

Here are some things that are crazy:Being a 40 year old male and thinking it’s ok to sleep with little children. Driving your car off a cliff unless you work in the stunt bizTrying to make your parents understand you’re all grown up. Being different isn’t good or bad; it just is.

Just because a person doesn’t conform to what other people say is ‘normal’ (meaning doesn’t scare them or challenge them), doesn’t mean you’re crazy. It just means, like everyone, you’re unique. Man, there’s a book in there!

Write the book! Sources: 43things.com/entries/view/1116216 .

Details 33 new from $0.95 30 used from $0.86Calico Captive is Elizabeth George Sprears (1908-1994) first novel. It was inspired by the diary of Susanna Willard Johnson, abducted by the Abenaki Indians in 1754 (during the French and Indian War) from her house in Fort Number 4 in Charleston, New Hampshire, published for the first time in 1796 and then 1807 (and presently available online at www.canadiana.org). Susanna Johnson was made captive with all her family, including a 14 year old sister, turned into the sixteen year old Miriam in the book, conducted to the Indian settlement of St.Francis and then sold to the French in Montreal, where she remained for three years before being set free after the payment of ransom.It took some years still before the whole family could be reunited.

Captivity narratives evolved into a kind of literary genre during the early years of American literature. These diaries, mostly by women, were always written at distance from the event of the abduction and share in their originality many stereotyped situations. These memories have been identified by modern critics as vehicles for a subjective rather than objective truth, as a means of political propaganda and as a form of sensational literature such as the "slave narratives".

Post-modern and cultural analysis have re-evaluated them as examples of gender and culture conflicts and pointed out the principal elements of the genre: what a proper woman should do in a desperate situation and the religious message of sticking to Faith in times of adversity. Not rarely, however, the captives depict their captors as individuals and somehow opened themselves to these foreign (Indian or French) cultures. Susanna Johnson's diary is one of those in which the captors, be they Indian or French, are shown in all their humanity and this old document, even if difficult to read, retains a charm of its own.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
