About the book
"[This] is the story of a woman searching for greatness and beauty, only to find that neither greatness nor beauty are exactly what she thought. Ivy Wilkes always assumed she would achieve greatness as a painter. She moves to Santa Fe in search of the light and landscape that inspired her idol, Georgia O'Keeffe. At first, Ivy embraces life in the artsy desert town, working in the O'Keeffe museum by day and spending her evenings with Omar, the seductive cousin of her upstairs neighbors. But when Ivy's own painting stagnates, she finds herself paralyzed by the fear that she will never paint anything of worth. Unable to create anything original, she begins imitating Georgia O'Keeffe's work and is enticed by an offer to create O'Keeffe forgeries to sell on the black market. The paintings sell, but Ivy's secrets isolate her from those she loves, who have secrets of their own. When a mysterious man appears at the museum, asking questions about O'Keeffe's forgeries, Ivy's bonds of love and friendship are tested. In her struggle to find her own artistic voice, she navigates the space between pride and guilt, love and selfishness, with devastating consequences."
