Mom and Dad's Martinis: A Memoir

Jacelyn Canes mom and dad liked their martinis dry: straight gin on the rocks with a dab of vermouth and a hint of water - and they liked them often. They also liked to party; they danced socialized and drank - they were good at all three. Sometimes this behaviour led to humorous situations - antics in the pool at the club the cottage or in the car for example. Other times however the experiences were not so funny - family fights and times of neglect trauma and abuse. By weaving together a series of episodes that take the reader to light and dark places author Jacelyn Cane tells a poignant cautionary tale for anyone affected by alcoholism and/or family struggles. The author is using a pseudonym and most of the names in the book have been changed to protect peoples identities. Mom and Dads Martinis: A Memoir is a great read for anyone who has experienced a childhood mixed with joy as well as sorrow. It is a story of love acceptance forgiveness and hope.
