Oh, I don't know, Jim I think my story of life in the foothills back in 1949 reads more as a fairy tale now. I didn't let anything shocking or tragic happen in Riles Crossing. I figure there is enough violence and meanness and angst in contemporary writing. I didn't want to add to it.
Oh,sorry James, for the confusion. These chapters about Eizer and Eli are excerpted from my novel, Bartle Clunes. So, yes, there is more to their story, both before and after these excerpts. Bartle Clunes has its own section at the top of my home page. It is a good story, you would like it.
Such a nice character study from a simpler time and place. I hope there are still people like this around today.

Funny, as soon as I posted my comment I realized I wasn't on the correct timeline. I'm not caught up on my Bartle Clunes chapters. :)
Wonderful, Sharron! These three words were my goosepimple factory in this chapter:
“Okay,” he said."
There are such beautiful relationships in this story.
Thank you Rebecca. Eizer instilled confidence and he didn't lie. The little guy needed someone he could trust, and he found him.
