Thank you to the readers, writers, and contributors of The Copperfield Review. We’ve been going eleven years and still counting. Not too shabby. And, of course, thank you to the editors at Copperfield Press.
When I put Her Dear & Loving Husband out into the world, I had no idea what to expect. I hoped I had written a story people would like if they had a chance to read it. I have been overwhelmed with gratitude for the warm reception readers have given James and Sarah. A most hearty thank you to everyone who has taken the time to share their kind words about the book. You are all greatly appreciated. Most authors would argue that their readers are the best, but I know my readers really are the best.
The Cherokee were not the only native tribe forced to walk west. The Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, and Moscogee-Creek also endured that perilous journey. I hope readers are intrigued enough by the Trail of Tears to seek out nonfiction accounts of that sad episode. The Cherokee Nation and the Trail of Tears by Theda Perdue and Michael D. Green is a good place to start.
