The fourth book in the Daughters of the Faith Series, Ransom's Mark is based on thirteen-year-old Olive Oatman's journey west by wagon train. Outlaw Yavapais capture Olive in 1851 after the massacre of her family. Later, she is ransomed by the peaceful Mohaves. The cruelty of her early captivity and the death of her sister from starvation bring Olive to the edge of despair, but her faith sustains her until her eventual release. The tattoo placed on her chin by the Mohaves becomes a symbol of the love and deliverance of God. Ransom's Mark is a middle reader biographical novel.
