Cherokee Rose (A Place to Call Home)

Cherokee Rose has endured more than any eighteen-year-old girl should. Though accepted by her tribe, being both mixed blood and Christian set her apart. When fifteen thousand Cherokee are evicted from their homes in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, Cherokee Rose joins her people on the thousand-mile trek westward, escorted by cruel soldiers, to Indian Territory. But one soldier, Lieutenant Britt Claiborne, did all he could to stop the abuse.
