Described as a 'heartrending' and 'incredible' story by Regina McLemore, author of Cherokee Clay and Patricia Morris author of Days of our lives. In the early 1800s, a time when people in parts of the world did things that their souls wouldn't want them to, John Lucas Jnr. and Horse Song, the children of two women raised as sisters in England, find themselves caught up in the brutal western expansion of America; a place where for some to survive and live was all in the undying consequences of choice. Later, in 1839, after being officially tasked to clear all Cherokee still living in hiding east of the Mississippi, John Lucas Jnr. finds Horse Song, the woman whose hands he once wanted to hold forever. Torn by their shared past and love that couldn't be had, Horse Song and the Cherokee she is hiding with are forced into deciding that when it comes to duty, land, horses and the right way to be, can John Lucas Jnr. be trusted or not.
