After a succession of powerful contemporary novels, bestselling author Janet Dailey returns to her roots in a work of historical fiction so moving, so richly conceived that it promises to become an American classic. Like her beloved Calder family series, The Proud and the Freee vividly depicts a passionate family and a tumultuous era. This superbly written epic, set in the Cherokee Nation on the eve of the Trail of Tears, re-creates days of shame and courage and the lives of men and women we will never forget.
