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.
