The se lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each morning\, a reaso n to dream\, a reason to love.
\nOut of that summer emerges a transc endent work of art\, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into eigh teen-year-old Louisa's care. She embarks on a surprise-filled cross-countr y journey to learn how the painting came to be and to decide what to do wi th it. The closer she gets to the painting's birthplace\, the more nervous she becomes about what she'll find.
