Margaret Verble Book Talk and Signing at Fiction Addiction

Pulitzer prize finalist Margaret Verble will be discussing her new book, Cherokee America at Fiction Addiction on Monday, April 8th, at 5:30pm.  There are two ticket options for this event. Your $29 ticket admits one, guarantees you a seat at the event, and includes a copy of Cherokee America. Your $10 ticket admits one, is standing room only, and will be redeemable for $10 off a purchase the day of the event. Please plan to arrive fifteen minutes prior to the event as we will start promptly. We will have books for sale prior to the event and at the event itself.

It's the early spring of 1875 in the Cherokee Nation West. A baby, a black hired hand, a bay horse, a gun, a gold stash, and a preacher have all gone missing. Cherokee America Singer, known as "Check," a wealthy farmer, mother of five boys, and soon-to-be widow, is not amused.

In this epic of the American frontier, several plots intertwine around the heroic and resolute Check: her son is caught in a compromising position that results in murder; a neighbor disappears; another man is killed. The tension mounts and the violence escalates as Check's mixed race family, friends, and neighbors come together to protect their community-and painfully expel one of their own.

Cherokee America  vividly, and often with humor, explores the bonds-of blood and place, of buried histories and half-told tales, of past grief and present injury-that connect a colorful, eclectic cast of characters, anchored by the clever, determined, and unforgettable Check.



About the author:
Margaret Verble is an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. Her first novel, Maud's Line, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
