The Taken is based on true abductiona of children by Comanche in 1864 Texas
“The Taken is a gripping tale of two brothers torn apart by happenstance and tormented by hatred, guilt and memory. Rarely does a novel about Indian captivity take the reader so convincingly into the psyches of both the one stolen and the would-be rescuer. This is an unforgettable story, and Mike Kearby tells it vividly and without flinching.”
