Abstract:
A near drowning puts the rebellious young Jim McKinnon into a coma. Transported into the past, he travels with the Cherokee during their winter exodus across deadly mountain ridges and snow storms. Jim’s face to face confrontations with Andrew Jackson reveal concealed, carefully protected historical secrets.

Jim McKinnon, aka (Bridge Boy) comes of age while learning the true reasons behind the Trail of Tears. While in a coma Jim walks with the Cherokee where his destiny is revealed to him by a beautiful young Indian girl. She mysteriously reappears in his post-coma life.
