Fiction
Imagine a hawk’s view of the magnificent bluegrass
pastures of Kentucky horse country. Circle around the
remnants of a breeding farm, four beautiful horses
grazing just beyond the paddock. Inside the ramshackle
house, a family is falling apart. Hack, the patriarch breeder and trainer, is aged and
blind, and his wife, Louetta, is confined by rheumatoid
arthritis. Their daughter, Jewel, struggles to care for
them and the horses while dealing with her own home and
job—not to mention her lackluster second husband, Eddie,
and Carley, her drug-addicted daughter. Many days, Jewel
is only sure she loves the horses. But she holds it all
together. Until her brother, Cal, shows up again. Jewel
already has reason to hate Cal, and when he meets up with
Carley, he throws the family into crisis—and gives Jewel
reason to pick up a gun. Every family has heartbreaks, failures, a black sheep or
two. And some families end in tatters. But some stumble
on the secret of survival: if the leader breaks down,
others step up and step in. In this lyrical novel, when
the inept, the addict, and the ex-con join to weave the
family story back together, either the barn will burn to
the ground or something bigger than any of them will
emerge, shining with hope. Remember My Beauties grows
large and wide as it reveals what may save us.
