Customer Reviews

A Historically informing book

The thing I enjoyed most about this book was all the historical information it gave. I picked this book up at a card store, and did not know what to expect. I was delightfully surprised! Cherokee Rose was a remarkable girl, and Britt Claiborne was the perfect match for her. I really liked this book and will probably eventually read it again.

Good way to get one interested in Cherokee history

Osiyo! After reading this book I was inspired to want to look up more stuff on Cherokee history. It was nice to read a book on 2 of the things I love very much which is Jesus ( Christianity ) and the Cherokee ( my ancestry). This site is under contruction and doing some changing but still has alot of good info about the Cherokee.( at one time this site would read itself outloud, perhaps it will in the future again so keep your speakers on) [...] I also say that this site is a good one---> http://cherokee.org/ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

Cherokee Rose

Awesome book - would definitely recommend!! Have since purchased many more books by Al Lacy and have not been disappointed.

A well written book, but a little lacking in accuracy.

Overall, I liked this book. It was beautifully written, and you could really envision what was happening. The characters are very well written, and you really feel them in their hardship. The story really keeps you going, and at times, I couldn't put it down. However, I think that the historical aspects were a bit lacking. For instance, Seqouyah went West to OK in 1829. The trail that Cherokee Rose takes in this book ("Trail of Tears") happened in 1838-1839. Seqouyah, therefore, could not have traveled with them, as it is protrayed in this book. Also, I felt that the story glossed over a lot of what happened during that time. It made people seem a litrle to happy at times. Yes, I realize it's fiction, and not a history book, but I feel that historical books should be as close to history as possible. Again, Cherokee Rose is a great book, with many good qualities, but if you want the real story of the Trail of Tears, check out www.cherokee.org.

A Great Book!

I cannot say enough good things about this book. Al & Joanna Lacy are excellent storytellers, and I found it hard to put their novel down, even for a few minutes. I am about 1/10th Cherokee, so I was especially interested in the historical aspects of this story. I still am, but I was more impressed by the simple but interesting style the Lacys use to keep a story moving and detailed at the same time. The characters in this fictional story are people who you genuinely fall in love with as you follow their plights and successes. There are no slow spots in this book. It's all good. It was so great to read about the 1800's with writers determined to not bog the story down with needless explanations about why this was happening, or why that was happening. The authors give the readers some credit by sticking to this formula of some history and a lot of story. The only complaint I have about this book is that I am now a victim! I have the Al & Joanna Lacy BUG! And these two have a lot of books to read. I offer a sincere thanks to the authors for working so hard to make reading fun for the reader. See ya next review!
