This book was astonishing and amazing and heartwrenching. It is a poignant and beautiful story. The main character is Tiana, a woman of the Cherokee tribe. It tells of her life from a young girl no older than ten, to the day she dies. This is a woman like no other. Her match can be found few and far between, if any should have ever existed. She is wise and spirited, youthful and calm, she is caring and gentle and a sage of her nation. After reading this story of hers (for it is hers, no matter the number of others it tells of) I feel as though I know this woman, though she died long ago. Her plight and those of her people at the hands of the white men invading their land and killing their families and stealing their joy is told... in a way I lack the words to describe. This book has made me speechless. It is bittersweet and at times harshly beautiful. I have left much of the story out. I hope that you decide to read this and like it as well as I do.
