When September Comes Andrew J. Salat

When September Comes, centers on three generations of spirited women whose lives are tragically overshadowed by a genetic flaw. Valiant ladies who find amusing ways to surmount life's obstacles to eke out happiness. They do this by beguiling those they love, and play the role so well, they believe it themselves. It is this sorcery, along with their teasing ways that easily win the hearts of their men. Unknown to their loved ones, they push into their subconscious the acknowledge of dying young. Curiously, this feat enables them to see humor in ordinary things, as they try to compress a lifetime of joy into few precious years. When their men find they had been hoodwinked into playing their game, they learn too late the women they loved were only complying lambs, awaiting a September which never came. Yet, their story is more about living than dying, its theme is partially based on the lives of real people. Like most chronicles, this one encompasses the joy of growing up, the mysterious stirring of first love, and the inevitable heartache that touches most of us. How these valiant women and the men they love confront their predestined fates, could make this a story not soon forgotten.
