What do a full-blooded Cherokee and a law student have in common? A Wi-Fi signal, their shared morbid interest: cemetery porn, and familial obligations keeping them from meeting.
Six years ago, I met Blackbird on an internet forum, drawn in by our shared interest: cemetery porn. We chatted every single day, until Blackbird vanished, leaving no indication he ever existed at all.
Armed with only a name and mailing address, I journey to Cherokee, North Carolina, home of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, to discover if Blackbird is alive. What I uncover in the land of blue smoke is beyond anything I imagined, and the faceless stranger on the other side of my computer screen is a harborer of puzzling secrets and unsavory truths.
Should I sever our connection for good?
Or should I stay and weave my way through Cherokee culture and tradition, in hopes of unearthing the man behind the keyboard?
