A well-written account of Pocahontas from a Christian perspective. It reads aloud well, and would make a good book to read for comparison with Jean Fritz's biography. It is a fictionalized biography, but Hanes does include a historical note at the end of her book helping readers separate fact and fiction. For example, she relates that a Spanish spy that stayed in the same house as Pocahontas for a short time wrote in a report that the English spent a long time teaching her religion, and that the Spanish would have baptized her far sooner. I would have liked Hanes to include an appendix of her sources for the material on Pocahontas's embrace of Christianity, since this is at odds with Fritz's interpretation of the facts.
