When the Yellow Mocker Calls (Two Feather's Legacy Book 1)

When the Yellow Mocker Calls (Two Feather's Legacy Book 1)

In the South Carolina Hills, along the Savannah River Watershed, in the fall of 1829, 14-year-old, three-quarter Cherokee, Sahani, whose Christian name is Charity, sets out on a journey with her 83-year-old maternal, white grandfather to Fort Charlotte, for what she thinks is a trip to trade the pelts he has accumulated in order to replenish their supplies.
However, Charity soon discovers that her grandfatherâ€™s objective in making this trip is to get her married off and settled somewhere.
Since her beloved grandmotherâ€™s passing several months earlier, her grandfather has worried about what would become of Charity should he, too, pass away. And, given his advanced age, he somehow senses that time is near; he does not want to die and leave young Charity alone and desolate. He and his wife reared Charity after her mother and father both died in a yellow fever epidemic when she was 3 years old.

As they travel to Fort Charlotte, her grandfather tells her that before going to Fort Charlotte they will be making an overnight stop at his friendâ€™s house. And, that a year or so earlier, he and his long-time friend, Eli Gulledge, talked about what would happen to Charity should both he and his wife pass away and have arranged for Charity and Eliâ€™s son Henry to meet before that time comes to see if they will take a liking to one another.
When Charity, who has never met Eli or his family, hears that, she threatens to act rude in order to make them not like her so that she can go back home with him, but her grandfather tells her that she cannot go back home with him and assures her that if young Henry doesnâ€™t take a liking to her, he is sure that some young buck down in Fort Charlotte will be looking for a wife.
Faced with the stark realization that her life is changing and she has no control of that change, many thoughts run through young Charityâ€™s mind- she even contemplates running away, but doesnâ€™t want to leave her grandfather alone.
When her grandfather suddenly passes away that night at Eliâ€™s house, that threat never comes to fruition. Young, Charity is forced to abide by her grandfatherâ€™s wishes and stay there with Eliâ€™s familyâ€¦

When the Yellow Mocker Calls is based on my great-great-grandmotherâ€™s life; her spiritual journey, her never ending quest for knowledge, her love of family and storytelling, and, most importantly, her love for Henryâ€¦
