Never Summer

<p><em>Never Summer</em> is about my family; mother father and three sisters who for a period of 13 years spent the entire summer months as migrant fruit harvesters in the Pacific Northwest traveling in old Chevy's equipped with a car-top camper unit in which we lived on and off throughout the summer season. The book is a reflection of those years and the 70 some years hence with some social analysis of societal expectations and comparisons to current day adolescent woes. The effort to write <em>Never Summer</em> was inspired by insights from <em>Grapes of Wrath</em> (John Steinbeck) and <em>The Glass Castle</em> (Jeanette Walls) that together presented so many similarities that nudged me to share my story.</p>
