Book
When Sylvie, a single mother yearning for a creative spark, meets Michael, a renowned painter, she feels something she hasn't felt in years. Impulsively she decides to uproot her life and move to Isaiah, an artists' colony, with her teenage daughter Alice. To Sylvie, Isaiah seems to offer a second chance at the things she's sacrificed--freedom, love and art--but her relationship with Michael begins to affect the closeness she once had with her daughter. Without her mother's knowledge, Alice engages in an act of teenage defiance that will shape both their lives. Years later, Alice, a PhD student, is sought out by Caroline, an art historian researching Michael for a retrospective of his work. As their conversations tease out long-buried memories, Alice grapples with her past and Caroline's hidden agenda. Sometimes it's all a matter of perspective.
