Publisher's summary

By virtue of a broken treaty in 1838, 15,000 members of the Cherokee Tribe were sold down the river by President Andrew Jackson and were forced to walk from their ancestral homes in the southeastern United States to designated Indian Territory of present-day Oklahoma. An estimated 4,000 Cherokee Indians perished along the way, and their dead bodies lined the pathway of what is now known as the Cherokee Trail of Tears.

During that same year, Englishmen were being forced from their country by the dismal economy, as Queen Victoria turned a blind eye to the plight of her dog-tired and penniless subjects. Long hours of backbreaking labor in the dreary workhouses caused those looking for a better life to set sail for America. There, they would be free to pursue success, and for one family, that meant moving westward to Oklahoma.

Let the Rivers Clap Their Hands is a masterfully woven saga of the emerging tale of two families from two very different backgrounds, each finding themselves freshly transplanted in the midst of Indian Territory in Oklahoma. From the hardships of their pasts, to the wake of the Great Depression, to the dawn of World War II, these families’ trials tell the tale of love, heartache, and hope.

As a winding river has twists and turns, listeners will discover the same with this riveting tale. Let the Rivers Clap Their Hands is an audiobook listeners will not want to put down.
