Jean Davies Okimoto has created a beautifully layered exploration of an artist's perseverance. I especially liked that the main character, Annie, has decided to begin her artistic career relatively late in life. (<a href="http://www.pickcheaps.com">www.pickcheaps.com</a> )

Jean Davies Okimoto has created a beautifully layered exploration of an artist's perseverance. I especially liked that the main character, Annie, has decided to begin her artistic career relatively late in life. The conflicts and obstacles that Annie overcomes are substantial and realistic as she balances being a mother, grandmother, and wife and the daughter of a narcissistic famous artist, with her own desire for creative self-fulfillment.
Annie's struggle and eventual triumph contain universal themes that will appeal to multiple generations. This novel can serve as a road map and encouragement for any reader who wishes to explore the courage it takes to find a path to success while staying connected to those you love.
