One man fights overwhelming odds to survive and protect. Caught between the love of two beautiful women, which one will he choose? What if you are a twenty-year-old, about to attend college, and your whole world collapses? Your mother and sister are missing, and soldiers murder your father, burn your mansion, and take you prisoner. Trail of Tears relives one of the most heartrending chapters in American history as the US Government transports the self-governing, wealthy Cherokee nation from their ancestral homeland to relocate in hostile Indian Territory. The Georgia militia forces John Ross, with only a trickle of Indian blood flowing in his veins, to walk the thousand-mile Trail of Tears. After John protects a full-blood Indian girl from the lustful wagon master, the cruel soldier targets John for retribution-until John's shoved too far. Bitter animosity explodes from a jealous Army Captain as John pushes and pulls his Conestoga wagon over mountain roads made muddy by rain and slippery by snow. Yet the persuasive voices of the preacher and his daughter have an impact. A new destiny awaits John at the end of the trail-if he survives. Four thousand Cherokee do not.

Trail of Tears: The Story of John Ross by Anne Greene is an emotional story that takes us back to a tragic time in America�s history. This captivating tale is well-written with developed characters. The author managed to combine fact and fiction into a fascinating historical tale. This is a fictional story that documents the removal of Cherokee from their lands and how they were forced to travel for months to their new land in what is now Oklahoma. I can tell that Anne Greene did her research for Trail of Tears. She weaved fact and fiction into one touching story. This is an expressive story that shows what the Native Americans endured on their travels. There is violence that will have you cringing (I did). I was shocked at what these proud people were made to endure. This is especially hard for me to read because of my Cherokee ancestry. The conditions were deplorable. Despite what they were going through, there was still hope. God was present and he used this deplorable time for his gain. God does work in miraculous ways. Trail of Tears is a heartbreaking, but inspiring story that will tugs at your heartstrings.
