Fourteen-year-old Barker McRae is stuck living with her odious uncle, militia captain Wiley Wood, as she waits for her father, a Methodist circuit rider, to return. Instead, a stranger arrives. Matthew Higgenbotham, a land lottery messenger who dreams of leaving Georgia, shows up at Wiley's farm with unexpected news: Barker has won forty acres in the latest state lottery. His announcement sets in motion an act of unimaginable violence, a harrowing escape, and a cat-and-mouse chase across frontier Georgia during America's first gold rush and the illegal seizure of Cherokee lands. The Deliverance of Barker McRae weaves fiction and meticulously researched history to introduce readers to two travelers, thrown together by luck and duty, on an adventure neither of them wanted. This is a tale about trespass, frontier religion, fathers and daughters, and friendships between unlikely companions.About the AuthorStacia Pelletier is a historical novelist and author of three novels: The Deliverance of Barker McRae (Mercer University Press), Accidents of Providence (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), and The Half Wives (Harper/Mariner).

It is 1815, in the contested borderland between the state of Georgia and the Cherokee Nation, and 13-year-old J.D. Wofford, son of a Cherokee mother and a white Intruder father, must choose where his loyalties lie. He spends his winters in his mother's Cherokee world and his summers in his father's world: Wofford's Settlement, the most notorious Intruder outpost in North Georgia. In the Cherokee world, J.D. is a tsila, an apprentice to a medicine man. A trip with his uncles to Kentucky to K*ll a buffalo earns him his Cherokee name, Tsuskwannunawata, and his manhood ceremony. In the white world, J.D. and his best friends Jimmy and Tony, an enslaved member of the household, call themselves the Thunder Boys. All part Cherokee, they swear an oath of loyalty to one another. When J.D.'s cousin Meley Jane is abducted and Tony's father Carolina is falsely accused, the three boys must ride into the Cherokee Nation to rescue Meley Jane from a band of white outlaws and save Carolina from being lynched. At the end of the fateful journey, the boys' childhood is over. Rifts over Cherokee identity and slavery have forever splintered the Wofford clan. The novel is based on the true history of James Daugherty Wofford, who led a detachment on the Trail of Tears and was one of the main informants for Smithsonian ethnologist James Mooney's Cherokee History, Myths and Sacred Formulas"--About the AuthorDonna Coffey Little has been a Professor of English at Reinhardt University since 1997.
