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.
