 Again, well done!   I always imagined Adam did feel exactly that way.

I'm a historical archaeologist who loves westerns and Bonanza is my favorite. I wrote my first Bonanza story in 2006 and the plot bunnies are still hopping. The majority of my stories include the entire family and many are prequels set during the period when Ben and Marie were married.

  1. Like Adam, Marie has a lot of learning/growing to do living out here in wilderness now. Glad she’s come to the realization that not everything can be learned in books or school. Loved Ben’s advice to her at the end too regarding how to approach Adam. It’s definitely a step in the right direction.

  2. Hmm … hard situation. Inger already holds the place of mother in Adam’s heart, and Ben isn’t doing anyone any favors by forcing this idea on him (he may not be forcing Adam to love her, but he is pushing this — probably out of a desire for her to feel included). It’s good that he can admit it’s a hard adjustment to Marie — but one wonders if he actually believes that, given that he keeps asking Adam why he’s not getting w the program. And Adam of course isn’t helping himself any — he’s a smart boy, but also a preteen w a chip on his shoulder, which is never a good thing … ?

    Loved the bit w Abe and Hoss — great to see where my boy gets it…

    Thanks for writing!

  3. Adam is stuck between a rock and a hard place and too stubborn to let himself out. Hopefully the thaw might start soon – for everybody’s sake.
