Strickland has captured the essence of mid-twentieth-century America as well as the fictional tale of an enslaved Native American couple of a hundred years prior. The emotional link between the two is inescapable. He gives voice to millions of southerners who loved the southern wilderness, and worshipped among the trees whose uplifted branches formed the arches of their cathedrals. They were men and women of color--white, red, and black--who joined forces to conquer the wilderness. Sometimes they fought to prove who was the strongest.
