As with "Legacies" (the second book in this series), the background takes precedence over plot or characterization.

The story centers around the Cherokee Removal, when governmental policies abrogated the treaty that had established a Cherokee Nation inpresent-day Georgia, and subsequently forced its inhabitants to emigrate to Oklahoma in a brutal on-foot journey.

This didn't happen overnight, and Dailey's background is well done indeed for anyone who wants to know more about the event.
