Their family is completed when a young Indian, Sleeps With Dogs, insists they take him with them on their search for a home.<br><br>Their quest to find acceptance in either the white man's world or the native population is a difficult journey. Can two men who love each other find a place in the harsh reality of the western wilderness, or will they always be walking in two worlds?

Walking in Two Worlds

“Oh, you’re hungry. Time to eat.”


“Hau, hong gra, tim to eee.” Tatanka tried in English. 


“Good,” Lee praised the attempt and rose from the ground. He walked to his saddlebags and pulled out the only food he had: the beans. 


Tatanka furrowed his brow and shook his head. He rose and trotted off into the woods.


Lee stood for a moment with his mouth open. Now where’s he off to?he thought. Then out loud. “I hope ya’ll come back,” he shouted after him. Shit, that was dumb. He don’t understand English! 


Kneeling by the fire, fully dressed now his clothes were dry, Lee was about to cook his beans. He lamented having been so bold with sexual innuendo during the language lesson. 


Shit, probably scared the breeches offin’ him. Not that it wouldn’t have been a bad idea.In spite of his disappointment at Tatanka’s abrupt exit, he smiled at the thought of what might have been hidden beneath the deerskin.
