| Plot Summary of The Abduction |
|---|
"Abducted from their homelands by sailor Norwegians, Poq and Osuqo must face tremendous obstacles and hardships alone as the ship takes them to its native land and even more when they get there. Osuqo's father has been murdered, and she and Poq are away from everything and everyone they've ever known. Upon arrival to Norway, they are instantly named 'savages' by the people of the town and are constantly humiliated, tortured, and forced to conform to an unfamiliar custom. Christine, a native of Norway, sees Poq and Osuqo being treated inhumane and like animals and realizes that they aren't 'savages' but people in dire need of her help. "
