Description

This story is about a young princess named Gertrude, three different kings who each reign over a part of a Pacific Ocean island, and a unicorn. It opens on Gertrude's seventeenth birthday in May of the early 1890's covers about a year in the lives of its many characters, and closes with the death of Gertrude as an old lady of 100 years in her home in upstate New York in the mid 1970's. As her idea of a birthday present, Gertrude's eccentric but sensitive maternal Aunt Susie tries to help Gertrude capture and tame a unicorn Susie has seen on the island. Although Gertrude firmly reflects this idea, she does become friends with the mysterious unicorn, named Shanta. Also on her birthday, the family first learns of the deteriorating eyesight of Gertrude's father, King Gunter, who rules over one part of the island. Her father has been valiantly trying to cope with the help of /Wing-Dings, angelic creatures who have been waiting on his family, and now he also seeks the help of a kind middle-aged physician named Damian, who also arrives on Gertrude's birthday. During the following summer, Damian falls hopelessly in love with Gertrude, King Gunter re-establishes his relationship with his wife Queen Willie and becomes reconciled to his blindness, and Gertrude's friendship with the unicorn Shanta grows and deepens. In the fall, Gertrude receives and determines to respond to an appeal from young Desmond, the second king, who feels threatened by a regent uncle with reedy eyes on his throne. Damian takes the occasion to openly declare his love for Gertrude, and he learns she cannot return it. Thus, the stage is set for a visit to Desmond's kingdom by Gertrude accompanied by Damian, who there performs his last great act to love by laying down his life for Gertrude and his kingdom Thunder Mountain. Gertrude and Desmont must flee across the island to Thunder Mountain where Gertrude meets and learns to love Gideon, its shy but brave king. Together, they prepare for the coming invasion of thunder mountain by Desmond's usurping uncle Reginald. Yet, even more foreboding than the invasion, the shadow of nautral volcanic disaster hangs over Thunder Mountain and its people. If I have aroused your curiosity, then please read the book! This story was born ultimately out of painful experiences I have had, and it represents an attempt to make sense out of reality, which often seems too ephemeral.
