It’s 1925, and the Midwestern town of Humbar—population 125—prepares to take on an entirely new set of challenges. Birthed as a frontier town in the mid-1800s, many of Humbar’s residents have dealt with more than their fair share of obstacles through the years. From dust storms to floods, from droughts to blight—a number of devastating events have driven this small, agriculture-based community close to their bitter end.

Other towns in the area, unable to recover from the unfortunate disasters, have withered away to the point of non-existence. Yet, the stout-hearted farmers of Humbar continue to press on, doubtful that even an education could spare them from their lives of meager existence, or from the terrifying event about to be cast upon them—a Great Depression sitting quietly on the horizon.

Author Daniel Chavez, Sr. presents more than a story of troubling times and misfortune. Where Summer Goes, Winter Follows is built from the stalwart and intrepid character found deep in the marrow of the human spirit, and…it begins with a little girl named Etta—Etta Summer.

Born to very little, young Etta would soon experience tragedy of her own when the lives of her parents are taken within weeks of each other. Now, forced to survive in a world where sorrow is commonplace and joy is a myth, one question still remains to be answered…

…will Etta discover the strength to live in a world of such pain and heartache?

“Author Daniel Chavez, Sr. presents a profound look into a gray and cheerless world where stark absolutes, trying circumstances, and remarkable events are daily occurrences,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC. “Where Summer Goes, Winter Follows echoes with voices from a challenging past and continues with the daily obstacles found in John Steinbeck’s classic tale, The Grapes of Wrath.”

Author Daniel Chavez, Sr. was born in San Antonio, Texas and has spent his life as a musician, songwriter, and novelist. His stories reveal a thought-provoking side of American folklore that continues to shape our own individual identities and destinies. Mr. Chavez now enjoys life one day at a time from his current home in Kansas. His novel, Marcelino and the Curse of the Gold Frog (http://www.amazon.com/Marcelino-Curse-Gold-Daniel-Chavez/...), published by Brighton Publishing, is currently available in eBook and print formats from fine retailers everywhere.
