 e a Major Motion Picture Starring Tom Hanks National Book Award Finalist-F
 iction.<br />In the aftermath of the Civil War\, an aging itinerant news r
 eader agrees to transport a young captive of the Kiowa back to her people 
 in this exquisitely rendered\, morally complex\, multilayered novel of his
 torical fiction from the author of Enemy Women that explores the boundarie
 s of family\, responsibility\, honor\, and trust.</p>\n<p>In the wake of t
 he Civil War\, Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd travels through northern Texas\
 , giving live readings from newspapers to paying audiences hungry for news
  of the world. An elderly widower who has lived through three wars and fou
 ght in two of them\, the captain enjoys his rootless\, solitary existence.
 </p>\n<p>In Wichita Falls\, he is offered a $50 gold piece to deliver a yo
 ung orphan to her relatives in San Antonio. Four years earlier\, a band of
  Kiowa raiders killed Johanna's parents and sister\; sparing the little gi
 rl\, they raised her as one of their own. Recently rescued by the U.S. arm
 y\, the ten-year-old has once again been torn away from the only home she 
 knows.</p>\n<p>Their 400-mile journey south through unsettled territory an
 d unforgiving terrain proves difficult and at times dangerous. Johanna has
  forgotten the English language\, tries to escape at every opportunity\, t
 hrows away her shoes\, and refuses to act "civilized." Yet as the miles pa
 ss\, the two lonely survivors tentatively begin to trust each other\, form
 ing a bond that marks the difference between life and death in this treach
 erous land.</p>\n<p>Arriving in San Antonio\, the reunion is neither happy
  nor welcome. The captain must hand Johanna over to an aunt and uncle she 
 does not remember-strangers who regard her as an unwanted burden. A respec
 table man\, Captain Kidd is faced with a terrible choice: abandon the girl
  to her fate or become-in the eyes of the law-a kidnapper himself.</p>\nht
