The Land of Promise
A Place to Call Home, Book 3

by Al & Joanna Lacy

The year is 1889 and the Cherokee Nation once again is being forced from their homeland. This time they are being moved even farther away to a reservation in Oklahoma in order for white settlers to move in and claim their land. Many are outraged at this senseless request and vow to fight for their land. They refuse to allow history to repeat itself, or for their people to be forced suffer through another Trail of Tears.

United Cherokee Nation Chief of Police, Brit Claiborne knows that, in order for the Cherokee to survive, they must go peacefully to their new designated homeland. With the support of his wife Cherokee Rose he hopes he can convince the Cherokee to listen to his pleas in order to ensure their safety.

As the white settlers near their new homestead their minds are filled with thoughts of the great new beginnings that await them in the unclaimed land. Dreams of rebuilding a new life in the vast uncharted territory drives them to travel hundreds of miles and leave the only safe environment they have ever known. What they find will amaze them, each one brings their own special blend to the Indian Territory. But the Cherokee Nation is intent on standing its ground. Can the two different cultures merge into one and live at peace?

The A Place to Call Home series has been providing me with a great deal of reading enjoyment for the past few months. Each one of the heartwarming books will wrap itself around your heart. There is so much real life emotion that can be felt in these delightful characters. Each one provides his or her own unique substance to make this an award winning novel. I would highly recommend that channels such as Hallmark seriously consider turning this highly acclaimed series into a series movie. Very highly recommended.
