Emmy's Journey: A Novel

Two Feather's Legacy Series, Book 2

De: Lila M. Beckham

Narrado por: Christa Lewis

In the summer of 1865, Emmaline Gulledge is 11 years old and stubborn as a mule. Determined to do exactly what she sets her mind to, she explores the mountains and valleys around her home with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and a keen eye that misses nothing.

When her mother dies, Emmaline, Emmy for short, is thrust into the mystical, spiritual world of her mother's native peoples, the Tsalagi, better known as the Cherokee.

Given the power of observation and shape-shifting by her immortal great-great-grandfather Two Feathers, who is the keeper of the Sacred Fire's Ashes, Emmy is told that she must carry on her mother's duties and is charged with the task of becoming the family "Ka no he ha Ka no Ge sdi", the Storyteller. She is supposed to remember and pass down her family's history and tell about their ancestors.

As Emmy grows older and matures, her explorations become more advanced. She discovers a hidden path that takes her beyond an ancient willow tree to a layer of the world that at first seems much like her own, but she soon discovers that it is quite different.... When she stays longer than allowed a mortal, she discovers that her grandfather can travel between space and time and communicate with all peoples between the layers of her world.

Emmy's Journey is a voyage through time and into the mysterious spiritual and mystical realms of the Cherokees, and a world that most never know exists.

A book worth your time.

So well written and very engaging. The story held my attention. The detail in her writing was so good!

The next "band" or "Clan"

Absolutely love both stories in this series! From a fellow descendant of a native/immigrant from Minnesota.(Kiowa in Oklahoma/Switzerland) I've found Cherokee on my British grandmother (north Carolina area) but not a lot of my family has been DNA tested yet, so far no males on that side have native but all that is said for his mother is "Cherokee woman" so who knows hopefully as time goes on we can all reconnect to our ancestors. Their way of life is the way our earth needs. Naw Tdape Khote (my relatives/relations-Kiowa) keep our language and stories alive.

Unable to finish. Total disappointment.

The 1st book, Yellow Mocker Calls, was soo good that I was compelled to purchase this one. knowing that the entire series has historically accurate basis was my main draw.

Huge disappointment. I give up on it 1/2 way thru.

I would like to know what happens to each of Charity and Henry's children but the redundancy of the conversations with Two Feathers and Jeremiah as well as the constant reflection to the past seemed to go nowhere.
I wasn't able to connect with the characters. The vocabulary usage is seriously lacking.
When I finally gave it up, I am still unsure what the goal of the piece was.

BUT, because the 1st novel was so captivating that I will explore more reads by the author.

Confusing. There was a hideous sounding voice in a male character. Couldn’t stand it. Didn’t make it through whole book.

There were a lot of characters…Dead ones who were alive in one plane and live ones. I do not recommend this book at all. Book one was great but this one didn’t even come near it.
