"Daniel Sweetwater is a sixteen-year-old Delaware Indian living with his
preacher father among the Cherokee in 1838. He and father are forced to
march with the last remnants of the Cherokee nation on a 1000-mile journey from
their homes in Georgia to a reservation in the Oklahoma Territory.
"Beneath the Sky of an Angry God is the first book in the Discovery historical
fiction series that follows the lives and adventures of young people over
several generations. Like Daniel, they struggle to make their way in a
growing and changing 19th-century America and to triumph amid the century-long
spiritual conflicts that have shaped our nation past and present.
