Carrying echoes of Amy Tan and Rebecca Wells, Ghost Country takes the reader into the lives of three Cherokee women and the lives of their modern day daughters. Told in a series of vignettes that alternate from the era of the Civil Rights Movement, Woodstock, and the Vietnam War, to the present day. Each story carries the reader through a world where a birthday wish can make people disappear; where a child, after being told that she is nothing, can find her way back to the forgotten Cherokee traditions; and where a woman can give her daughter a treasured bit of advice thanks to a dead rock star.  

About the Author
 

Dana Michelle Burnett was born and raised in beautiful Southern Indiana. Early on, she discovered the magic of book and stories. She was in high school when she read the classic Lolita, which opened her up to the idea that the most fascinating characters are not pillars of society, but individuals full of flaws.” 

Burnett took over the family home décor business, NanasAtticStore.com, upon her mother’s retirement… The winter of 2010 saw her two passions unite with her first decorating book, Home Decorating for the Real World. The book landed on the Kindle bestseller list only weeks after its release. “I was thrilled and shocked by its success. As a writer, you hope your work will be well received, but that went beyond anything I expected.”

Ghost Country was Burnett’s first fiction novel to be published. The novel features a glimpse into her own Cherokee ancestry mixed with fictional characters and compelling stories. “The idea for the novel sprang from the Cherokee heritage of my own family, from one generation to the next; our tie to the Cherokee has become less evident.” Burnett explained, “With the birth of my daughter, I began to research our Cherokee lineage so that perhaps my daughter’s connection could be stronger than mine was. During my research, these characters came to mind. Ghost Country became the result.”

Burnett still lives in Southern Indiana. She continues to manage NanasAtticStore.com and works on her writing every day. Her site, DanaMichelleBurnett.com has more information about upcoming projects and appearances.

From the Author:  

Ghost Country features a glimpse into my own Cherokee ancestry mixed with fictional characters and compelling stories.  

“The idea for the novel sprang from the Cherokee heritage of my own family, from one generation to the next; our tie to the Cherokee has become less evident.

“With the birth of my daughter, I began to research our Cherokee lineage so that perhaps my daughter’s connection could be stronger than mine was.  During my research, these characters came to mind.  Ghost Country became the result.”
