Dr. Annie Hayes suffers a near death experience and finds herself alone and afraid in the 'land of no time.' There she meets a Cherokee spiritual healer who helps her return to the land of the living, where things get even worse for Annie. She loses everything she believes important to her, the consequences of a secret buried deep in her past.
The Cherokee healer, White Hawk, born in 1830 shares a supernatural connection with Annie. White Hawk travels between the physical world and the spiritual world using her abilities to heal the 'two-leggeds.' As a child exiled from her ancestral homelands on the 'trail of tears,' she survived a government enacting laws to annihilate her people while supporting slavery. The motto "kill the Indian, save the man" permeated the land. Opposition meant death by hanging, yet with the help of the abolitionists and determination, she fights back earning the honor as a 'Beloved Woman' of the Cherokee.
Annie's future is somehow tied to the past of this 'Beloved Woman' of the Cherokee Nation, and uncovering the secret is the key to unlocking her healing. What unites these two souls together throughout the ages?
