Local author pens novel: Seventh Son, A Northeast Texas Boyhood
Editors Note: The author Roy Brewer is an attorney who now lives in Des Moines, Washington. The book is about his growing up in a large family in rural Northeast Texas during the 1950s when social, political, religious and cultural changes were evolving.
Roy was the 7th son in a family of 12 children, 7 boys and 5 girls. He lived in the small town of Enloe in Delta County, Texas. Delta County Texas is at the northeast corner of the fertile black land prairie that stretches from the Red River in the northeast almost 300 miles southwesterly to San Antonio. The town's society and economy centered around farming the rich black dirt. His stories of the townspeople lend a view to the grit and character needed to survive and thrive in such an environment.
