At the age of 23, she was kidnapped from her peaceful Virginia settlement settle-ment and held captive for months by the Shawnee Indians, over 500 long hard miles north of her home. The inner courage and indomitable strength of this pioneer pio-neer woman is described in graphic detail by James Thorn. Early after the kidnapping and bloody massacre, Mary made up her mind to be a survivor and directed all of her energies and actions to that goal. Though illiterate, she was very intelligent and memorized details of the trek to the Shawnee camp so that she would remember how to return to her home. She had to make choices that had no right answer, decisions that broke her heart but not her spirit. She alternately thanked God or argued, bargained and pleaded with Him as she underwent under-went trial after trauma, and survived. sur-vived. Mary's tale holds the reader spellbound by the authors detailed de-tailed descriptions of both beauty and horror. Reading his words is like seeing a movie in your mind. Mr, Thorn spent hours in re-. search including traveling the difficult and next to impossible trails that led Mary back to her Virginia home. Much of the novel is historically documented, but there is a great deal that comes from his vivid imagination as he brings the story to life.

Also called "ringing in . the ears," tinnitus affects some 50 million Americans. Researchers say they've found abnormally high activity in the auditory cortex of tinnitus sufferers, the auditory cortex is a pecan-size "1 1 j"' A Howard Thorpe area of the brain that helps process pro-cess signals from the ears. People with tinnitus hear various annoying annoy-ing sounds, from ringing and buzzing to roaring and whistling. Nearly one-fourth of sufferers have it bad enough to seek medical medi-cal help, and some are considered disabled. Once scientists verify the source of the problem, they can begin designing drugs that target those mechanisms. 1040 A to Z.
