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

As Lee looked around, he had the eerie feeling he was coming home; that he had been here before. He laid the reins on Ranger’s neck, took off his hat and wiped his brow with his forearm and leaned back in the saddle.

“Who’s Sihu?” Lee continued. Tatanka looked over his bowl of beans and smiled.
