Portals of Yahweh

As 17-year-old Babs and her sister-wife drove the family herd down from the high pasture, she would never have dreamed the stars winking out were her destiny. Both evil and fantastic adventures lay just beyond the rising sun of New Mexico.

Oliver and his crew have stumbled through a Portal giving them access to the rest of the Galaxy, something that has been hidden for 3000 years. Out there, humanity is treated as a bottom-tier species. Insects think of us as food, and the rest just want our work. Once, we had been the masters. The Galaxy spins and civilizations fall. But they can rise again too, which has Oliver bound and determined to make happen.

Novella set in the Portals of Yahweh universe. A stone-age girl is stolen in a raid from her first family, made a daughter then sold by her second family to the mythical star-faring Earthlings. Strength of character and good fortune will take her further than human eyes can see on a cold winter's night. Her destiny will be written in the stars. Her first love is also taken but by alien slavers. Slavers who will find out about First Valley warriors and what it means to rain havoc. Among the stars and strange new worlds who will these stone-age youths become?
