5.0 out of 5 stars My All Time Favorite, October 28, 2001

This review is from: Walk in My Soul (Mass Market Paperback)

Tiana is the most incredible characters I've ever read about. Reading this books made me feel like I was stepping back in time to the days when the Cherokee were free and powerful. Luicia St. Clair Robinson does a remarkable job in researching the people and their culture. In this book you learn about Sam Houston, the development of the Cherokee Syllubus, Tecumseh, and the strengh of a Cherokee Woman.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book that tugs at your heart, April 6, 2000

By 

Jeri' Williams (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Walk in My Soul (Mass Market Paperback)

This book gives you the insight of what it was like to live as a Cherokee in that part of the country. They were loving, beautiful people who lived their life according to what their ancestors had taught. It also gives us the ability to understand what they were forced to leave behind so the White settlements could prosper. And the unfairness that they endured. Tiana is an incrediable character who touches our heart and leaves us remembering her or what she represents, years after the book has been read.

This review is from: Walk in My Soul (Mass Market Paperback)

This was an excellent book, I read years ago. One that changed my life. Who Tiana Rogers was and the way she is portrayed in the book, gave me a role model to follow, in a time when I really needed one. This is a book that touched my soul, and I highly recommend it to anyone who's attention it called. It's a beatiful story and one that you'll never forget.
