The Raechel Kainze Diaries by C. Lee Martin is a deeply personal memoir about an unexpected relationship between two very different women in Nashville, Tennessee. The story begins in 1991, when Martin, then in her mid-forties, takes a part-time job helping Raechel Kainze, an elderly writer in her seventies who is gradually losing her eyesight. What begins as a difficult working relationship eventually develops into a meaningful friendship and a life-changing experience for both women.
