The Swinging Doors

Ellie Sinders is no stranger to the violent world of men. A bloomer girl for the past seven years, her life has been dictated by the contract kept in the bottom of a saloonkeeper’s money box. Each day is a fight for survival—from hunger, from the passions of men, and from her own mother, the infamous Maggie Sinders. When three strangers come to town, Ellie’s fragile existence is forever shattered.

Told from multiple perspectives, The Swinging Doors is a story of acceptance and redemption, where courage and love collide with violence and hatred, where secrets have devastating consequences. It’s a story of how one person’s fate impacts the lives of so many, for good and
for ill.
