Synopsis

Victoria And The Dark Warrior

By

M. K. Ware

Victoria, a loner all of her years in Pikeville where she was born, reflects for a fleeting moment. Mother died when she was born, and her Dad tried everything just to keep a roof over their heads. He even did work that few White men would do for others, fieldwork. Victoria was loved and grew up happy with some pleasant memories. One such memory was that of a nanny, Yamola, who helped out with her before returning to her home on "Eden". Yamola had said to her constantly that she must come to "Eden" to see her after she grew up. Now grown-up and working, Victoria's Dad has also died.
A lawyer came into the store where she worked with a deed for property left by her Dad's cousin, several hundred miles southeast a place called Willowville. She drew her money from the bank, purchased an old car packed and left for Willowville. Once in Willowville, with the help of good neighbors she repaired the house, planted and worked her crop, and marketed all of her products along with all of the other people. She is ready for her first vacation. Eden is a paradise. She broke a rule on the Island paradise that she thought hinged on barbaric. Her actions threw her life onto an emotional roller coaster and would have her running from a crazed Warrior, seeking the aid of Witch doctors to stop the Warrior and lift a curse a jealous Islander put on her. Victoria married a good man, Harold Jr., who threw all of his love and energy into her battle. After a few years he reluctantly put Victoria into a hospital for psychiatry then succumbed to death. Here she spent a great deal of her time visiting the "deep". There she saw her Dad and Harold. She escaped the place without any memory. She married Dr. Timothy Reed Jr. He was her doctor and agreed to help her.
