My very first book by Sharon Foster-I couldn't put it down. The details are amazing in what she writes and it makes me really feel for the slaves and for Armentia. She went through a lot of tough times but I LOVED how the book ends. Will definately read more by this author!

This is one of the most incredible books I've ever read. Armentia's story will touch your heart, no matter what your race. I usually don't care for historical fiction, but this one is superb.

I just started this, but it is a fascinating read. Foster tells the story from the point of view of an elderly woman relating her history. The woman is a black slave raised with a wealthy Cherokee/white family in the Cherokee lands just before the time of their removal. We follow her tragic story. It is a fast and great read based on the author's personal history and her extensive research. I can't wait to finish it and hope the ending lives up to the beginning. Great book for a discussion group, as it touches on a lot of little know history of the American Natives.
