Thank you so much for providing me with this book early to review! I was so surprised to find this in my email and it couldn't have come at a better time. I really needed a book to get me out of a reading slump. I haven't been reading books that I love lately and I really needed a book to love. I always read Diane Chamberlain without even reading the synopsis. She is an autobuy author for me. This is my 22nd book that I've read by Diane Chamberlain and she does not disappoint with this book. I love when authors are able to blend a historical fiction timeline with a present timeline seamlessly. I was able to predict one of the connections, but it didn't affect my feelings toward the book at all. I also really enjoy the way that Diane Chamberlain is able to put hard-hitting issues in an accessible way for readers. When you leave a Diane Chamberlain book she always leaves you feeling like you've learned something and it really makes you think. She is able to take a contemporary story an extra step that really pushes boundaries without going too far. I will continue to read everything Diane Chamberlain writes and will continue to fully promote her to my youtube subscribers. Thank you again for the opportunity to read and review this e-book!

Diane Chamberlain’s books are always five star reads! This one was endearing, touching and I learned something about art restoration. Morgan Christopher, a young art student, is in prison for a crime she did not commit. She receives an offer which will put her on parole if she agrees to restore a mural painted in 1940. This mural was painted by Anna Dale. As Morgan works on the restoration she becomes more curious about Anna and the peculiarities she is finding in the painting as she works on it. The story moves between the present time and 1940 in perfect synchronicity. It just works perfectly. The story becomes more engrossing the more you read and I loved the perfect ending.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I always love when a new Diane Chamberlain book comes out. This book tells a story about 2 different women - Anna in 1939 and Morgan in 2018. Anna painted a mural in 1939 and never finished it. Morgan was wrongly accused and sent to prison for a crime she didn’t commit. A lawyer got her out early as she was chosen to restore this mural from 1939. Morgan had no idea how to restore a mural but she wanted out of prison so would “give it a go”. Both stories tie together very nicely with a big red bow tied around it towards the end and I loved it!! Well done Diane Chamberlain!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this advance copy. All opinions are my own.
