Five years ago, she had confidently walked the halls of Boston's most renowned Museum School, enrolling in art courses that were once deemed "unthinkable" for women, and showing a budding talent for watercolors.

Ida, meanwhile, has left her love for painting behind. It comes as no surprise to Ida when Ezra is hours late for Thanksgiving dinner, only to leave abruptly for a supposedly urgent business trip to Boston. But then something unfathomable happens: a storm strikes, and the ship carrying Ezra and Mose sinks. In the wake of this tragedy, Ida must settle the affairs of Ezra's estate, a task that brings her to a familiar face from her past-Henry Barstow, Mose's brother and executor. As she joins Henry in sifting through the remnants of her husband's life and work, contemplating the blank canvas her life has become, Ida must learn to separate truth from lies and what matters from what doesn't" -- Front jacket flap. 650 0 $a Women painters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Farmers' spouses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Widows $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Martha's Vineyard (Mass.) $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 10 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023320.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064447.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20220510011253.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20211009013014.0 952 $l ELPC715 $d 20211007153752.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20210824011410.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20210803014951.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210702012211.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210702010440.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210701010308.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A3BDF0B4DA3111EB950CCE9F56ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
