Jane's Remedy Kathleen Rita Cook

Take a fifty-seven-year-old woman, her thirty-four-year-old husband, a mother in the throes of comical dementia, and a teen who scrapes the back of a full fridge to eat decades-old fruitcakes. Laugh. Add beatings, fear, infidelity, rape, incest, senseless death and wasted lives. Cringe. Karen Baker doesn't mind the laughs and cringes. She just wants you to understand that her tragic, hilarious life is no less commonplace than your tragic, hilarious life. With the aging senior population and the numbers of women who marry much-younger men on the rise, Karen will not be laughed at or cringed at forever. She may even find true love, one day.
