Cherokee Rose has endured more than any eighteen-year-old girl should. Though accepted by her tribe, being both mixed blood and Christian set her apart. When fifteen thousand Cherokee are evicted from their homes in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, Cherokee Rose joins her people on the thousand-mile trek westward to Indian Territory. Rosa is determined not to be broken by the cruelty of the soldiers escorting them. One soldier, Lieutenant Britt Claiborne, not only refused to join in, but did all he could to stop the abuse.
