Helpful Score: 1

I enjoyed this book due to the fact that it gave me a different perspective about the Trail of Tears. It is also very informative in the context of fiction. It is a fictional book, but, according to the author's note, '...the background against which they appear is fact. All incidents and events in this novel relating to the court battles of the Cherokee Nation, the harassment by the Georgia Guard, the Cherokees' valiant efforts to peacefully resist removal for eight long years, and the split within the Cherokee Nation between the supporters of the principal chief and treaty advocates for removal are true. ...the descriptions of the detention camps, the long trail of tragedy and suffering, and the ruinous destruction that occurred in the Cherokee Nation during the Civil War.

The relationships and romance of the story add to its interest.
