In 1838, 13,000 Cherokee were forced from their land to walk 900 miles along the "Trail of Tears" to present-day Oklahoma. This "illuminating and challenging chronicle of loss, despair, and regeneration" ("Washington Post Book World") brings this ordeal to life via the haunting voices of a young Cherokee woman, her husband, and a host of others--Cherokee and white, soldier and missionary, parent and child, the living and the dead. 252 pp. Author appearances.

Diane Glancy je spisovateľka z kmeňa Cherokee, ktorej dielo skúma prepojenie medzi domorodou identitou a súčasnou skúsenosťou. Vo svojej poézii, próze a dráme sa ponára do tém dedičstva, vysídlenia a nezlomného ducha svojho ľudu. Glancyovej osobitý štýl zachytáva nuansy kultúrnej pamäte a výzvy navigácie v modernom svete pri súčasnom oslavovaní spojení s predkami. Jej tvorba predstavuje silný hlas v súčasnej literatúre pôvodných Američanov, ktorý čitateľov oslovuje svojou lyrickou hĺbkou a hlbokými postrehmi.
