(2) YA This meticulously researched novel tells the story of Rain Dove, a sixteenth-century Cherokee girl, and the devastating effect smallpox, brought by European colonists, had on her clan. Much of the book is an affecting look at the Cherokee way of life, as Rain Dove comes of age and starts a family, making the swift and inescapable progress of the epidemic even more tragic.
Reviewer: Terri Schmitz | Horn Book Magazine Issue: April, 1977
