"In 1824, John Ridge, the promising son of a Cherokee leader, returns from his New England education with his White bride, Sarah. John burns to realize the dream of an independent Cherokee Nation, using his eloquence, his education, and his Cherokee heart in relentless defense of his people's humanity, but tensions between the Southern states and the federal government pulls the couple into the crossfire of a divided country on the brink of civil war. As America wrestles for its soul over the fate of the Indians, John and Sarah unite to forestall the Cherokee diaspora, testing the limits of individual commitment and the meaning of sacrifice. The Ridges' abiding love for the Cherokee people compel them to seek justice all the way to the Supreme Court and Andrew Jackson's desk. But with options eroding, John and Sarah must make an agonizing choice between their love for each other and the future of the Cherokee Nation."--Publisher description.

Autorenporträt
Leslie K. Simmons writes about extraordinary people at the center of crucial turning points in American history. She is particularly fascinated by outliers and the lesser known (but no less incredible) stories that slip through history's cracks. After decades of research, she followed a path marked by serendipities to the true story of John and Sarah Ridge and her debut novel, Red Clay, Running Waters.
