Trail of Tears tells the harrowing story of Hala, a determined teenage girl who believes the only way for her tribe to survive the looming threat of the Indian Removal Act is to assimilate into white society. But when her warnings go unheard, Hala’s world is torn apart—her family and people are captured, separated, and forced onto the brutal journey known as the Trail of Tears.
Facing unforgiving weather, starvation, cruelty, and the hatred of their captors, Hala must fight not only to stay alive, but to protect the spirit and survival of her tribe as everything she loves is stripped away.
This is a story of endurance, loss, and courage in the face of one of the darkest chapters in American history.
