About this product

News of the World by Paulette Jiles is a historical fiction novel set in post-Civil War Texas. The story follows Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd, an itinerant news reader, as he undertakes a 400-mile journey to return a ten-year-old girl, Johanna, to her Kiowa relatives. Johanna was captured by Kiowa raiders four years earlier and raised among them after her family was killed. Now returned to white society, she struggles to adapt, having forgotten English and resisting assimilation. Their journey through unsettled territory reveals tensions between cultures, identity, and belonging. The novel explores themes of family, responsibility, and trust with moral complexity and emotional depth.
