"A Doorway in the Desert"

Do we enter into a vision or do our hearts see what is really before us in all of its truth, goodness, beauty and love?

The characters in this story are on an internal quest. They travel to a Native American mission in an effort to find what they need. Each learns, in their own way, that prayers are not answered within time and space.

An old man, long passed over to the other side, lingers on among the people he loves. Some are strangers and yet he knows them. He understands their world from the inside out. He remains part of an earthly life in a holy place.

A twenty first century woman senses the old man’s presence and a story unfolds that brings the reader into the world of universal themes.

Those in need seek refuge from fear and loss. They enter the mission with hope and leave through the same doorway, forever changed.
