Charles Frazier's highly acclaimed first novel, "Cold Mountain," was an international bestseller and won the National Book Award in 1997. Frazier's second novel, "Thirteen Moons," returns readers to Western North Carolina, telling the story of the Cherokee Nation through the extraordinary life of Will Cooper. Will, sold as a 'bound boy'� to run a trading post on the edge of the Cherokee Nation, is adopted by the Cherokee and ultimately becomes the tribe's voice during the tragic days leading to the Cherokee Removal. "Thirteen Moons" was called by Kirkus Reviews, "one of the great Native American, and American stories, and a great gift to all of us, from one of our very best writers."
