<p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">“<em>The Taken</em> 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.”</span></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"></p><p><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"> </span></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">Scott Zesch, author of <em>The Captured: A True Story of Abduction by Indians on the Texas Frontier</em>, winner of the TCU Texas Book Award</span></span></p><p></p>
