All hope lies on the Cherokee chief, John Ross, who is in Washington, D.C., trying to delay the Removal. Now Jesse has returned to his home to live with his widowed mother and two younger sisters. Sixteen-year-old Jesse Smoke has been studying at the Mission School, but it has been shut down and turned into a fort for the ever-increasing number of soldiers entering the territory. In 1838 in Tennessee, the Cherokee Nation is on the brink of being changed forever as they face the Removal - being forcibly moved from their homes and land, in part because of a treaty signed by a group of their own people.
