Book Synopsis
Tennie Ridge feels like a nobody, living in a low-rent motel her parents run in a small Arizona town The only interesting thing about her is that she is named after her Cherokee great-grandmother. Bullied in high school, coping with a dying father, and struggling with her distant, alcoholic mother, Tennie longs to disappear like the vodka in her mother's martini glass.
Suddenly, she begins having vivid dreams that transport her to Indian Territory, Oklahoma in 1873, where she learns Cherokee medicine and ancient tribal wisdom. Tennie grows stronger from these dreams as she survives betrayal, finds love, and faces wrenching sacrifices that threaten to tear her world apart.
