A Bouquet for Iris

By Diane Ashley, Aaron McCarver

Description:

Bored with life in Nashville and feeling unfulfilled, Iris yearns to do something meaningful. When the opportunity comes to travel to the Chattanooga area and become a nanny for two Cherokee orphans, Iris steps into her future. Attorney Adam Stuart knows better than to trust women or the government to do him right. But when the lovely Iris joins forces with him to protect the legal rights of the Indians he loves, he finds his heart in peril once again.

Why the author wrote this book:

We wanted to write about an adventurous young woman caught up in the events leading up to the Trail of Tears. This was a fun story to write about the time when current day Chattanooga, Tennessee was the American frontier.
