In the years leading up to the 1830s Indian Removal, a young Indigenous woman named Tayinaka flees with her newborn child—conceived through a brutal assault—across a ravaged Southern landscape. Haunted by loss and hunted by soldiers, she seeks refuge and survival. Blending historical fiction with speculative elements, The Way the Dust Clings is a powerful story of survival, cultural erasure, identity, and generational memory.
