A DOORWAY TO HEARTS

by SHERRI GIBSON

Rated: XGC · Book · Western · #1109183

The first of a fictional western trilogy

*The published novel is rated "R", containing graphic violence, erotica, and so on.*

"A DOORWAY TO HEARTS" begins with the encounter of young Trent Walker and Lakota child Blazing Star at the Missouri Riverbank. They form a swift bond that grows throghout the years, but is threatened to be destroyed by extreme prejudice, betrayal, the Battles of Rosebud and Bighorn, and more. Following their hearts and capturing their mutual dream of unity between their races doesn't come easily and without extravagant prices to be paid, leaving both to wonder if their bond is powerful enough to survive such hardships.

An Indian! A real, honest to goodness Indian...the first thoughts young Trent Walker had when first encountering the arrogant Lakota child Blazing Star on the Missouri riverbank. After a brief exchange of words, the two rapidly discover they have much in common and become secretive friends due to the differences between their people. As they mature into adults, Trent and Blazing Star find that their dream of mutual peace is threatened by extreme prejudice, betrayal, and numerous other obstacles. Following their hearts becomes more difficult, and their dream more elusive. Can even a camaraderie as powerful as theirs survice such ordeals, or will it be severed?

In response to "CHANGES COMING WITHOUT DOUBT"

You're so kind-hearted and loving, (((Laura))).

I'll be okay, hon. Don't worry about me. I plan to follow your advice and take care of myself. The stress isn't worth it, and does nothing but hurt me more when thinking about it. I promise to come to you for a strong shoulder if need be, hon, so don't worry about this old woman.

You'll always be a WDC Sister and friend to me. You're an angel, Laura!

It's very important not to be drawn into silly back-biting games. There's no room for drama queens on WDC. People need to be adults and handle their own problems. I'm sure it's hard to be tough with people -- you're so soft-hearted

-- but you need to remove yourself from harmful situations and take care of your health. YOU come FIRST!

If there's anything I can do, let me know.

In response to "FROM THE HEART"

Thanks you Riot and Laura.

Laura, you are so right. It's live and learn, and refusing to be taken advantage of and/or hurt in other ways. I've lost zest for many things, but as said before, am resilient. Just needed to vent, I guess.

In response to "FROM THE HEART"

I've been taken advantage of many times over the years, yet I continue to fall for it, although far less often now. The hurt has made me more prickly and less generous, which is sad. But I think that's part of getting older -- you don't suffer fools or troublemakers as easily as you used to. And that's probably a good thing.

Forgive yourself for past errors in judgement and refuse to be taken advantage of anymore. You deserve better!

MY BIG SISTER

I found out earlier this morning that my sister, only a year older than me, has terminal lung cancer.

There are also spots of cancer on her liver, and another biopsy is being ran tomorrow to determine if any more cancer is found. It seems so unreal. It breaks my heart knowing....No, I just can't say it.
