The idea for The Cherokee Rose, my first novel, came straight from my academic research on my last book. That book is called The House on Diamond Hill, and it focuses on the history of a Cherokee plantation in present-day Georgia. I wanted to tell a story that was hinted at, but not accessible, in the existing historical record, and so I wrote a novel.

? also just a note. Just finished " All That She Carried" It has been awhile since I have been able to give a 5 star ratting. This book was fantastic, with a very interesting way of telling history. This book about black history in America rates up there with "Four Hundred Souls" and The Warmth of Other Suns".
