In late November 1899, in Tishomingo, Indian Territory, 17-year-old Eva Baker is caught between two worlds: the future she's always dreamed of and the family obligations threaten to shape her destiny—a destiny she never wanted. Eva has spent her life in Tishomingo, helping with the family and their small farm. She has graduated from Bloomfield Academy with high honors. Now, she wants to learn the art of midwifery under the tutelage of Aurora Harrison, a local and admired midwife.

In the heart of Tishomingo, Indian Territory-now the vibrant state of Oklahoma-resides a story that weaves the fabric of truth and fiction, a tapestry anchored by a young Chickasaw woman named Aurora Harrison. Her odyssey, as she rises with the sun each day, unfolds against the canvas of foundational events: the Trail of Tears, life in Indian Territory, paving the way for the birth of Oklahoma. Raised on the beloved tales of her native Chickasaw Nation and her loving parents, Aurora's innocence gradually wanes, exposing a harsher reality where history unveils its unvarnished truths.
