This stirring novel about the Trail of Tears--the forced removal of the Cherokee nation from Georgia to an internment camp and then to Texas--received resounding critical praise nationwide. Now in paperback.

As much meditation as novel, William Humphrey tells the story of Amos, his grandparents, and the shameful forced removal of Indians known as The Trail of Tears. Haunting authenticity re-creates the shameful incidents that befall Amos and his family.
