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.

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 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.

As she did in her superb novel, "Ride the Wind", Ms. Robson once again gives us a fascinating novel of real people and the events as they might well have been. Although "fictional" the story is true. Sam Houston did indeed have a Cherokee wife and their love story, although a scandal in its day, was indeed a true romance. Get a snack, curl up on the couch, and enjoy.

I read WALK IN MY SOUL many years ago and have never forgotten the heart and soul put in to each page. At a very young age I read this book and will Never Forget how I couldn't put it down, how I laughed and how I woke my sister by my soft crying. My whole family read and talked about it for a very long time. Never Forgotten!

Lucia St. Clair Robinson totally captures the reader into an ongoing stuggle between the Cherokee Nation with its trials and tribulations from their homeland of Tennesse and the complete stupid anarchy that the white man presented to the seven clans. Quite the captivating and thoroughly researched manuscript concerning the plight of yesteryears Indians just to survive a basic hostile takover of their homeland. To all of the people who like to read accounts of the trail of those who cry.

I love this book! Wonderful, yet heart wrenching re-telling of the Cherokee way of life and the hardships they withstood from being forced off their lands and moved to Oklahoma. Yes it was good about Sam Houston, but my interest was caught of the telling of the Cherokee life and the Trail of Tears. I could not put this book down. I have read it more than once. I bought this book 12 yrs ago. Still a great book!

Ms. Robson is a wonderful weaver of tales who entices her readers to hunger to learn more about the people and times she illustrates with her words. Walk in My Soul had an interesting slant on the legendary Sam Houston; however she did not draw the reader into the characters as well as she did in Ride the Wind. For 2 full weeks after reading Ride the Wind I thought of the characters constantly. I was in love with Nocona, Wanderer and admired and wept inside for Cynthia Ann Parker who lost her birth people and her Comanche people each time so bitterly. I admire and enjoy the painstaking research Robson certainly must do to create such wonderful stories.

Excellent book. Have read and will reread this book again. My library contains science fiction to romance. All books I love and reread.

I'm sorry, but I just can't get into this author's writing style. I absolutely love the historical fiction of James Alexander Thom, and went looking for more historical fiction authors. This book was pretty difficult for me to wade through, to be honest. It took a long time, and I found it be extremely forgettable and unimpresive. Her style just doesn't work for me. I tried reading Light a Distant Fire and Ride The Wind, and couldn't fully get into those either. I suggest readign James Alexander Thom instead (Follow The River, From Sea To Shining Sea, Children of First Man, The Red Heart).
