A Light Rain of Grace: A Novel

By Jeannette Sears

Drawing on her personal history and friendships with many of the Bay Area rockers, in her first novel, A Light Rain of Grace, Jeannette Sears has created a memorable character in singer Emma Allison.Emma's life before meeting her husband, Juan, reads like a tell-all memoir of a rock legend, an insider's tour of a rock star's life outside the spotlight. Spanning the years 1967 to 1992, the story careens through the heyday of the Haight Ashbury rock' n' roll scene. But, beneath its authentic rock' n' roll road tales and unforgettable characters, this is a very personal story of a self-centered woman who through adversity and great passion comes to terms with her troubled past and experiences a sense of greater goodness . At the heart of the book is a love story, but underlying the romance is a current of danger that eventually washes the characters into the havoc of 1980's Central America.Jeannette Sears is a rock lyricist who with her husband of 42 years, Pete Sears, wrote many of Jefferson Starship's popular and critically acclaimed songs that are featured on the band's Gold and Platinum albums.Many of the themes of some of Jeannette's best songs can be found in A light Rain of Grace: forgiveness, social justice (with an emphasis on Central America), family and community values, and of course-love. Jeannette is uniquely equipped to tell this story, having spent many years in the company of rock stars, including Janis Joplin and Grace Slick. Her other works include short stories in two anthologies: Tales From The House Band, Volumes 1 & 2. The story in Volume 1 is titled Family Values and Volume 2 features The Gift.Jeannette lives with her husband Pete in the San Francisco Bay Area.
