When Saturday Comes

WHEN SATURDAY COMES set in the island city of Galveston Texas in 1966 (prologue and epilogue 1988) is the story of one woman Jennifer McClain and how her tragic death in 1931 at the age of twenty-three has shaped and altered the lives of three generations of men-her surviving husband Dewey McClain now seventy-four their son James four at the time of her death but now thirty-nine and David the ten year old son of James. For all three the summer of 1966 is a journey. For Dewey it is a journey toward death. For James an unsuccessful journey toward acceptance of his mother's fate. And for David it is a dramatic journey into manhood.
