Tula's Path: A Cherokee Trail of Tears Story

by Virginia C. Ferguson

Is Tula brave enough to choose the right path? When Tula's father announced that he was moving the family outside of the Cherokee Nation, something inside her began to die. That was six long years ago, and Tula has struggled every day since. She hated leaving her people. She hated leaving her grandfather. She hated losing her mother when she was only nine. But what she hates most of all is keeping her Cherokee heritage a secret. Then in one day, all the pent-up anger and guilt comes to a head, and Tula is forced to choose between keeping her family's secret or standing with her friend in his darkest hour. Is she brave enough to choose the right path? Will God sustain her through the dark times?
