Kentucky Rain

Charlotte Jerace's Kentucky Rain is a warmhearted and witty novel about a genteel Southern woman, who is scheduled to embark on a road trip from Prince Edward Island, Canada, all the way to Louisville, Kentucky, where she will present an old and irreplaceable journal to the city's historical society then fulfill a lifelong dream to attend the Kentucky Derby. But her worsening Alzheimer's disease and the rising family conflict put in jeopardy everything at stake. Jerace's cleverly plotted tale introduces us to a multi-generational, modern-day family, who battle their addictions to alcohol and drugs, alternative lifestyles, sibling rivalry and lack of good communication skills with humorous and sometimes heartbreaking candor. The cast of characters and their irrepressible pets make Kentucky Rain a journey worth taking.
