Chapter 1 - Mandie and the Panther Mandie sat with her feet dangling in the cool water of the Tuckasegee River. Her white kitten, Snowball, played at the edge of the rocks. It was a hot day for the North Carolina mountains and Mandie was tired. Slipping away from the others, she had hastily pulled off her shoes and stockings, thrown her bonnet on a nearby bush, and run down the bank to the river. She had left her fine clothes at home and traveled in calico. Mandie and her new family were on their way to visit her Cherokee kinpeople, none of whom she had ever seen. She was wondering if the Cherokees would like her. After all, she was only one-fourth Cherokee herself, and not only that, she didn’t even look like an Indian with her long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. It was so important to Mandie that the Cherokees like her, because they were her father’s people, and her dear father was now in heaven. A faint sound behind Mandie startled her, bringing her out of her reverie.
