"I wanted to write a story of an uncommon love so enduring it could overcome insurmountable obstacles. My passion for horses and the way they can enrich a person's life needed to be part of the story. I believe in the power of love and the spirit of the horse and these two forces came together to tell this story. My only job was to fill in the details."

We’ll Have the Summer is a magnificent story about life, love, and horses.

"We'll Have the Summer" is a magnificent story about, life, love and horses. Dutch Henry paints vivid and realistic scenes with compelling characters. These days there are many books and writers but I have ridden with Dutch personally. Dutch is the real deal. His talents are equal to the best I've ever seen. He can take us with his words to those places we want to visit or re-visit. I highly recommend him and asked him if I could do so. I want you to enjoy his talents as much as I do

Dutch shows us that connected relationships with both humans and animals are the rich threads that create textured engagement in the tapestry of life. Captured in the flavour of authentic western lifestyle, we see the poignant lives of courageous women, kind hearted cowboys, devoted friends and the horses that bring them together. "We'll Have the Summer," is a tale of determination and challenge interwoven with joy, happiness and the depth of character that only a skilled author can produce. Everyone who has felt the bitter sweet pull of love and loss should read this book. It will inspire even the most conventional to unreservedly move past their comfort zone.
