A chance meeting with a charismatic photographer will forever change Elizabeth's life. Until she met Richard, Elizabeth's relationship with Georgia O'Keeffe and her little-known Hawaii paintings was purely academic. Now it's personal. Richard tells Elizabeth that the only way she can truly understand O'Keeffe isn't with her mindâ??it's by getting into O'Keeffe's skin and reenacting her famous nude photos. In the intimacy of Richard's studio, Elizabeth experiences a new, intoxicating abandon and fullness. It never occurs to her that the photographs might be made public, especially without her consent. Desperate to avoid exposureâ??she's a rising star in the academic world and the mother of young childrenâ??Elizabeth demands that Richard dismantle the exhibit. But he refuses. The pictures are his art. His property, not hers. As word of the photos spreads, Elizabeth unwittingly becomes a feminist heroine to her students, who misunderstand her motives in posing. To the university, however, her actions are a public scandal. To her husband, they're a public humiliation. Yet Richard has reawakened an awareness that's haunted Elizabeth since she was a childâ??the truth that cerebral knowledge will never be enough. Now she must face the question: How much is she willing to risk to be truly see No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I absolutely loved this novel and watching the main character as she makes changes and takes risks that affect her life using Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings and life as a road map. This is a wonderful book for lovers of the artist but more importantly a book that every woman should read about finding her true self - not only as a wife, mother, sister, friend but, most importantly, finding the true person at her center.
Thanks to the publisher for a copy of this book to read and review. All opinions are my own. ( )
