New Novel Presents a Gripping Story about Discovering the Ties that Bind a Family Together
Follow one family's trials and triumphs in Kentucky Rain by Charlotte Jerace.
TRURO, MASSACHUSETTS (PRWEB) January 4, 2007
Author Charlotte Jerace reveals a tender, heartfelt story of one family's ability to pull together when confronted with a crisis, despite all odds against them, in her new novel Kentucky Rain.
Jerace's story centers on a genteel, yet spirited Southern woman named Agatha Vorelli, who embarks upon a road trip to Louisville, Ky. to deliver an extremely unique book to a noted historical society and to receive a seat of honor at the Kentucky Derby. However, Agatha's arrival doesn't go quite as planned, as her family members are called to retrieve her from Canadian Mounties. The family soon discovers Agatha is slowly losing her mind and manners due to Alzheimer's disease, and each of them must first wrestle with denial and their own demons before being able to truly unite in an effort to help.
A novel that plumbs the depths of familial emotions, fears of aging, and the family ties that can overcome the most daunting challenges, Kentucky Rain brings together an eclectic cast of characters, and deftly presents the motivations that often lead to monumental conflict -- but just as often results in brilliant humor that is both entertaining and biting. In Jerace's clever tale, we see how some of the most improbable people in our lives can often turn out to be the most important. With mounting family tensions and rising stakes on the social scene and the racetrack, Charlotte Jerace's novel progresses to a terrific climax that should prove satisfying to readers everywhere. Kentucky Rain embodies many truths and conveys the message that love, laughter, and forgiveness are the ties that bind a family together.
Rob Kean, author of The Pledge, had this to say about Kentucky Rain: "The world is filled with books we can't put down, but rare is the story we take with us. Jerace has penned a tale at once hilarious and touching, and that finds us sweetly conflicted, by Agatha Vorelli's tragic affliction in lockstep with her outrageous spirit, as those who love her do the best they can with both. A Kentucky Rain is available for sale online at Amazon. com, Borders. com, Target. com and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.
