Current format, Large Print, 2017, Center Point Large Print edition, Available ."A talented young artist flees New York for Paris after one of her scandalous drawings reveals a dark secret--and triggers a terrible tragedy. She questions everything and everyone she loves the most in an effort to accept them as the gifts they are and shed her fear of loving and living with her eyes wide open."--
In the wake of the war, the glitz and glamour of 1925 Manhattan shine like a beacon for Delphine Duplessi. At a time in her career when she could easily be unknown and penniless, in America she gains notoriety for her stunning "shadow portraits" that frequently expose her subjects' most scandalous secrets. When Delphine's mystical talent leads to a tragedy between two brothers, she renounces her gift and returns to the south of France. Her twin brother and business manager Sebastian attempts to cajole her back to work and into co-dependence; her ex-lover Mathieu is determined to lure her back into his arms, unaware of the danger that led Delphine to flee Paris for New York five years before. Trapped in an ancient chateau where hidden knowledge lurks in the shadows, Delphine questions her art, her magick, her family, and Mathieu in an effort to accept them as the gifts they are.
