Now that Veronica is "out" of the picture, Cherity Waters and her father need to come back into it. The Davidson family are accidentally brought into the Underground Railroad and Seth watches a runaway slave be hanged and receives stiff punishment for his beliefs himself. The Cherokee drama is expounded upon in this book in the series, with a lot of historical notes at the end and throughout the text. There is a great surprise at the end of the book. I learned a lot from reading this book, and left my own "trail of tears" as I read the sad history of the Cherokees and many slaves. I highly recommend this book, and the fact that most of the book is based on the genealogy and family history of the author and his wife, comes through in the emotional appeal of the book. ( )
