Initially I was really sucked into this one, but I had a bit of a tough time as it went on. The real world and spiritual realms blended a deal. And I think my lack of background in Cherokee folklore probably didn’t help. That said, the writing was beautiful. And the scenes from the point of view of the ancestors on the Trail of Tears was profound.
