Kentucky Sunrise finds Nealy once again hellbent on producing a Derby winner and on showing the world that she's not a quitter. Newly married to lawyer Hatch Littletree, and with her daughter Emmie running the family's famous stables, Blue Diamond Farms, Nealy should finally be content. But returning to Blue Diamond Farms for a family reunion sends Nealy reeling. Emmie has let the farm slide, and she has picked a small, gutsy colt to send to the Derby - a nice horse, but clearly the wrong one. Suddenly Nealy is back in the game, ready to prove she's not too old to back a winner - even if it means taking on another colt as her personal project. Nealy's determined not to let Emmie's poor judgment undermine the reputation of the business she worked so hard to build. But the damage to her relationship with her daughter may be irreparable, until a stranger walks into her life, holding out the promise of hope for the future.
In the final installment of the Kentucky Coleman Thornton series, Nealy Littletree has to face her daughter's inadequacies, as well as her own. While each woman struggles to meet her inner demons, both prepare their horses to run in the Derby. Laural Merlington gives each character a clear voice and a clear soul. Nealy's steel betrays a soft hint of vulnerability, and Emmie's weakness displays a core of iron. While they sometimes overlap, the men in the story, for the most part, speak in their own voices, especially the delightful old codger helping an escaped murder suspect flee around the world. While the story occasionally drops a plot line or character development thread, Merlington never loses track or enthusiasm. R.P.L. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
