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.

4Road trip and then some!  Dec 10, 2006
By Marilyn Brownstein
Thematically and formally satisfying, this well-plotted road novel motors along, powered by characters deftly made from zippy dialogue and short and shapely chapters. Jerace's willingness to joke mindfully about serious matters produces a quick and satisfying read, not proselytizing but full of promise in the ultimate conciliations of three generations of an American family. The antic diction of Alzheimer's--impressively reproduced here--and the unselfconscious generosity of spirit embodied by the novel's first person narrator provide relief from the bumps and travails of a journey that could be yours or mine.

5Kentucky Rain  Dec 09, 2006
By Catherine Viner
Even more than an insightful story around Alzheimers, Kentucky Rain is also about family and how love, in a time of crisis, can knit together unraveled relationships. You will laugh and you'll cry, and you will want to pass this book along. It's a great read!

This is a fast-reading, charming,touching story about family relationships. If you want to read something that has no violence, no intrigue, no mystery, etc., just a light and entertaining book, this is for you.
