She testifies to borderlands that still exists between Cherokee people and heirs of Andrew Jackson's soldiers; between Americans and their British Isles forebears; and between the \u003cem\u003efrontera \u003c\/em\u003eof Mexico and southern plains states of the United States. She spares no quarter as she remembers history and its living embodiment in the present. She tells compelling stories with the sure hand of an oral storyteller and with lyrical intensity of a skilled poet.
