Adoption can be a blessing, but sometimes it creates more questions than answers. Lyncoya is a historical novel based on a real Native American boy who comes of age while straddling two cultures.

When an American soldier plucks two-year-old Lyncoya from an Indian battlefield in 1813, General Andrew Jackson adopts him. He sends the youngster to his plantation home, where he can grow up with Andrew Jackson, Jr. A lifelong conflict erupts between the two brothers. Isolated from his heritage, Lyncoya chafes at being bullied and befriends a young slave by teaching him to read, which is against the rules. Andrew, Jr., stalks the boys, then tattles to Jackson. Lyncoya must face his worst fear—being banished from the only home he remembers. Can he recover his place at the Hermitage and in the heart of his adopted family?

Mary S. Payne is an adult adoptee and an adoption rights' advocate for people who were adopted as children. She was adopted in the 1940s after eighteen months in foster care. Getting her original birth certificate 45 years later brought resolution and continuity to her life. “Everyone should have that opportunity.”

While doing background research for her two-volume set, "Adoption’s Hidden History," she was amazed at the secret manipulations she found that shaped the legal process we have today, especially the sealing of the records.

A private investigator for fifteen years, she also served as a Department of Human Services intermediary. Now retired, she continues to work on behalf of adoptees. As part of the online adoptee community, she is one of three administrators for ‘Oklahoma Open-original birth certificates for all adopted adults,’ a Facebook group.

Currently, Mary is finishing a historical fiction manuscript about Lyncoya, Andrew Jackson’s adopted Native American son. It’s based on a true story.

Mary S. Payne’s book, “Lyncoya”, portrays a beautifully written - heartfelt journey enabling us to feel some of the realities of not only the adoptee experience, but the harshness of racism, and the trauma of living in a dysfunctional childhood home. I felt great compassion for Lyncoya who endured so much heartache. But I also had empathy for his older brother, Andy (another adoptee), who had been a product of his parents and the culture surrounding him.

A moving evocation of Jackson’s adopted Native American son and his struggles with being accepted within the family and outside it. The writing is clear and moving. I’m giving a copy to my daughter who’s in the process of adopting. Payne’s activism for adoptees is subdued here but a deep motivation nonetheless. Highly recommended!

Great Book!

Lyncoya is an excellent book. As I was reading, I found many elements that could be taught in the classroom using this text. It is a very good example of historical fiction.
