The Marital Scandal

A figure emerged from the shadows and Harriet gasped. Her own brother joined the angry mob, carrying two hay-stuffed figures of a bride and groom. The bride represented Harriet and the groom her fianc? Elias. One young couple finds the courage to follow their own hearts and defy an angry town. But with her silence Cornelia Tuttle rejects the charming Cherokee from Arkansas Territory named Edmund Webber. She was a proper New England pastor's daughter who couldn't risk the scandal that marrying an Indian would bring her family. He was a man of faith caught between two cultures who could not bring himself to ask her again. This dramatic novel, based in history, sets in motion the events leading up to the tragic Trail of Tears journey that would push a proud people west to the Neosho District of Indian Territory.
