| Publisher Description: In a novel that "retains the complexity, immediacy, and indirection of a poem," Glancy brings to life the Cherokees' 900-mile forced removal to Oklahoma in 1838 and gives us "a powerful witness to one of the most shameful episodes in american history" (Los Angeles Times). |
