Humberto C. Garcia renews marketing campaign for book first published in 2014
SAN ANTONIO – A former farmhand before he became a lawyer and published author, Humberto C. Garcia shares a story of love back-dropped by an era where color prejudices exist. “Kilhaven Farms” (published by AuthorHouse) follows two souls as they realized their love amidst racial and social status differences.
In 1960, a time in America when it was illegal for whites to marry nonwhites, Gloria Kilhaven, the 20-year-old daughter of a white farmer in Texas, and Nico Modesto, the 20-year-old son of a Mexican American migrant farm worker family, fell in love only to incur the wrath of a racist world bent on preventing them from realizing their love.
When Gloria witnesses a brazen act of discrimination committed against Nico’s little sister, she tries to correct it. But in her effort to confront the perpetrator, she causes Nico to be charged with attempted murder. Now she must fight her racist father and an unsympathetic justice system to liberate her soul mate.
Mirroring his experiences in this fictional love story, Garcia enables readers to see the extent of miscegenation laws and the hardships the colored individuals suffered during the 60s. This compelling tale serves as a window to the past and a warning for the present and the future.
