Pushing the Bear by Diane Glancy

In a novel that 'retains the complexity, immediacy, and indirection of a poem,' Glancy brings to life the Cherokees' 900-mile forced removal to Oklahoma in 1838 and gives us 'a powerful witness to one of the most shameful episodes in american history' (Los Angeles Times).
