Abraham’s Well deals with an event in our country’s history that I know little about–The Trail of Tears. Apparently, in addition to the thousands of Native Americans who were forced off of their land, many African Americans, both slave and free, were also forced west. Armentia is part Cherokee and part African. She and her family are slaves, and are forced on the Trail of Tears, along with their Cherokee masters. Armentia endures much pain and loss, but never gives up her dream of being free and owning her own land.
