“Mary Glickman’s powerful new novel is the finest depiction of the
infamous Trail of Tears that I’ve ever read. The forced removal of
the Cherokee nation from its ancestral homeland in the southern
Appalachia and its forced relocation in Oklahoma is one of the
darkest and most fascinating dramas of a shameful American past.
Glickman turns this to literature by her brilliant portrayal of
three unforgettable characters. Their story is riveting, and Mary
Glickman is a wonder.” —Pat Conroy, author of The Death of
Santini
“An astonishing eye-opener, a brand new story of a people and a
past, the history of which Glickman shows us we took for granted.
In Glickman’s work, we truly inhabit a New World, and it is one,
though long lost and vanished, we inhabit in the world of
today, a world of many tears, many trails.” —Bernie Schein, author
of Famous All Over Town
“A sympathetic, well-executed historical novel . . . In this tale
of three ordinary, eminently relatable people, the author adeptly
sets Abe’s story against the backdrop of Andrew Jackson’s shameful,
greedy relocation of the Cherokees and the land grab of the Indian
Removal Act of 1830. . . . Glickman does an outstanding job
of weaving together the narratives of her three disparate
characters.” —Publishers Weekly
“Glickman gives readers much to ponder on the many ways prejudice
can be expressed. Her beautiful descriptions of an unsettled
America and its native people are highlights in this far-reaching
story of love, courage, and honor.” —Booklist
“With highly researched and descriptive writing, Glickman weaves a
tale that includes the horrors of the forced relocation of Native
Americans, an event now known as the Trail of Tears. . . . This
absorbing and vivid portrait of 19th-century America will attract
serious historical fiction fans.” —Library Journal
“Mary Glickman’s vivid new novel . . . depicts the
Cherokee exile in its starkest, brutal
reality. . . . Well researched and highly
recommended, An Undisturbed Peace is a superb work of historical
fiction.” —The Jewish Book Council
“An Undisturbed Peace is an exceptionally written read from
beginning to end and clearly documents author Mary Glickman as a
novelist of consummate literary skills. Very highly recommended.”
