Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
*Starred Review* Foster drops back to 1838 to tell the story of black Cherokees forced along the Trail of Tears. Her young heroine, Armentia, lives an idyllic life in North Carolina, but greedy whites scheme for the land and bring about the loathsome Indian Removal Act. Armentia watches as her brother is dragged into slavery, and then as most of her tribe, the Deer Clan, dies on the trail. Nor does Oklahoma turn out to be paradise, with Cherokees preying on Cherokees and Armentia sold into slavery. This is simply told and moving, Foster's best work since her groundbreaking first novel, Passing by Samaria (2000).
