Description
Set in the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma in the early 1920s, this richly textured historical novel follows Maud Nail, a young Cherokee woman whose quiet life on her family’s remote allotment is shaped by tradition, hardship, and the lingering effects of war. As Maud and those around her confront questions of identity, loyalty, love, and survival, the story brings to vivid life a community navigating the pressures of a rapidly changing America. Attentive to the land, language, and everyday lives of its characters, the novel offers an intimate portrait of Cherokee culture and resilience. Its lyrical, deeply atmospheric storytelling illuminates the complicated intersections of family, history, and belonging.
