Trail of Tears: The Story of John Ross
Paperback – ebook
March 6, 2021
What if you are a twenty-year-old, about to attend college, and your whole world collapses? Your mother and sister are missing, and soldiers murder your father, burn your mansion, and take you prisoner.
After John protects a full-blood Indian girl from the lustful wagon master, the cruel soldier targets John for retribution—until John’s shoved too far.
Bitter animosity explodes from a jealous Army Captain as John pushes and pulls his Conestoga wagon over mountain roads made muddy by rain and slippery by snow.
Yet the persuasive voices of the preacher and his daughter have an impact.
A new destiny awaits John at the end of the trail—if he survives. Four thousand Cherokee do not.
Marilyn’s thoughts: Trail of Tears: The Story of John
Ross in the first book in The Ross Family Saga by Anne Greene. This is one
riveting story that will rip at your heartstrings with tears flowing. This is
based on American history where the Cherokee nation is forced by the government
to leave their homeland. The brutality, lack of supplies, loss, complete
disrespect for the Cherokees was evident with their treatment. Thankfully there
was a caring white missionary and a few others that did all they could to help
the Cherokee people including sharing the scriptural salvation plan for them to
find inner peace despite their hardships and losses. The story is filled with
action, faith, romance and forgiveness among many. The survivors grew in faith
and one of John Ross’s special verses was from Isaiah 40:31 along with the
verses from the Psalms. I look forward to reading the next installment for The
Ross Family Sage.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author
without any obligation to write a review. I have expressed my own thoughts.
