When a white
trapper is brutally murdered, the entire community blames the Indian
captured by her father. Amik, known only as Indian John, awaits
trial shackled in the loft of the Carver cabin. Thirteen-year-old
Rebecca believes he is innocent, but she fears her father’s wrath.
What she knows may save a man’s life, but will her actions be enough
to overcome the hatred and outcry of the town for vengeance?
