Never Summer: A Thousand Rainbows - Paperback

Never Summer 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 Never Summer was inspired by insights from Grapes of Wrath (John Steinbeck) and The Glass Castle (Jeanette Walls) that together presented so many similarities that nudged me to share my story.
