When Alexandra Kuykendall became a mother it was the beginning of a soul-searching journey that took her into her past and made her question everything she'd experienced--and a lot of what she hadn't. The only daughter of a single, world-traveling mother and an absent artist father, Alexandra shares her unique quest to answer universal questions: Am I lovable? Am I loved? Am I loving? In short, moving episodes, Alexandra transports readers into a life that included a childhood in Europe, a spiritual conversion marked more by questions than answers, a courtship in the midst of a call to be with troubled teens, marriage and motherhood--and always, always, the question of identity. Through her personal journey, women will discover their own path to understanding the shape of their lives and a deeper sense of God's intimate presence within it.

'An impressive debut, expertly researched and compelling narrated' - Patricia O'Reilly (The First Rose of Tralee)Love, art, and obsession, set between Nazi occupied Paris and rural Ireland. As the Germans advance on Paris in 1940, a young Jewish girl, Sylvie Vasseur, is sent by her father to rural Ireland to live with the Courtney family. He also sends his valuable art collection - including a portrait of Sylvie by the renowned Mateus, Girl on a Swing. Sylvia is seduced by the narcissistic elder son Nicholas Courtney when she is eighteen, but he abandons her when he discovers she is pregnant. To avoid the inevitable social stigma, Sylvie marries his brother Peter. In Dublin, she becomes involved in the art scene, achieving critical acclaim as a painter. But, trapped in a loveless marriage, she continues to be obsessed with Nicholas. Until, unexpectedly, secrets from her father's past emerge, leading her to question everything she once believed. Shortly after, she is found drowned on a Wexford beach. Seventeen years later, Claire Howard, struggling art historian, is hired by the Courtney family to record Sylvie's lifeworks. Fascinated by the artist and working with Sylvie's son Sam, Claire travels between Dublin and Paris, eventually unravelling a labyrinth of deceit and lies that threaten to endanger her life.

They are all there. Spread across the Web pages. Caught in a family net that holds them firmly in line. No risk of losing their places. One is a grandson, another a nephew.I was a daughter, and this book is about my immediate family, and the family of my childhood. It is about our joyous childhood journeys around Britain. It is about a war which encompassed us all, and it is about peace, and my wanderings across a once war-torn Europe ending finally in Australia.My father was the one who started the family. At least, that is what I thought as a child, and then all the others before him impressed themselves upon my awareness. Of course, there was my mother, and her family, and the parents of my father.Then there was my husband, and all the folk who led to his beginning. He made my life complete and we started our own small tree. England was our joy and our starting point, but from there our wanderings encircled Europe. The wanderings of other family members encircled the globe and gathered into the family web all those other nationalities, which have made us a truly international family.I realised that there was no way in which I could determine the start of this family.Now I look at the many names, each, perhaps, the start of another branch, and I know that I shall never know the end of this vital flowering tree.The tree will live on. The flowers, like the ones I have always loved, will fall, but they will be replaced by others, to carry the seed on into the future, and across the world.Where our tree eventually falls, others will grow.

A biography of a Victorian-era woman who grew up as the daughter of novelist Charles Dickens—and found a creative career of her own. Katey Dickens was born into a house of turbulent celebrity and grew up surrounded by fascinating, famous, and infamous people. From a very young age, she knew her vocation was to be an artist. Lucinda Hawksley charts the life of a celebrated portrait painter who redefines our preconceptions about Victorian women. Living to be almost ninety, Katey survived an unconventional marriage, love affairs, heartbreak, depression, and the challenges of being a female artist in a male-dominated era. Compelling and illuminating, this biography of Katey Dickens tells the story of a spirited woman who found fame at the center of the first celebrity phenomenon; it also uncovers the reality of what it was like to be a child of Charles and Catherine Dickens.

Katey Dickens was a nineteenth-century artist and socialite, and the beautiful daughter of Charles Dickens. In this illuminating biography, Lucinda Hawksley, herself Dickens's great-great-great-granddaughter, recreates the life of an extraordinarily determined girl who defied Victorian convention to live and love as an independent woman. Blessed with a privileged upbringing in an family that moved between London, France, Switzerland and Italy, Katey pursued her love of painting, acted in her father's plays, modelled for John Everett Millais and, as the daughter of the most famous writer of the time, enjoyed a high profile in Victorian society. Yet she refused to be eclipsed by her father and fought to establish herself as an artist in her own right. Family life in the Dickens household was turbulent and the unhappy atmosphere that followed the eventual breakdown of her parents' marriage drove Katey to marry young. Her first husband was the chronically ailing Charlie Collins, brother of the famous author Wilkie Collins, and theirs was a sexless but otherwise companionable union, while Katey threw herself into a passionate and very un-Victorian affair with celebrated artist Val Prinsep. After Charlie's untimely demise, the widowed Katey married the handsome Italian artist Carlo Perugini, with whom she had fallen deeply in love. Despite the happiness she finally found in her second marriage, Katey often suffered from deep depression, particularly following the death of her beloved father and of her baby. But she remained active, pursuing her career as a painter, championing Charles Dickens's works, and befriending such eminent figures as J. M. Barrie and George Bernard Shaw. Katey Perugini lived to be almost ninety and her artistic prestige, which flourished during her lifetime, still persists to this day. Author of the acclaimed LIZZIE SIDDAL: THE TRAGEDY OF A PRE-RAPHAELITE SUPERMODEL, Linda Hawksley has delved deep into her own family history to research this fascinating new biography, which intimately remembers the life of a supremely independent Victorian woman.

What My Daughter Wore is Brooklyn artist Jenny Williams' original collection ofintimate and playful drawings capturing the inspired, offbeat, and whimsical sartorialchoices of girls in the fleeting years between childhood and young adulthood. Withher daughter Clementine as her original muse-but also inspired by her daughter'sfriends-Jenny depicts a unique moment in a girl's life, when self-expression andindividuality trump trends and the impulse to conform. From a dress borrowed from mom worn over vintage pants handed down by a bigbrother, to a Dr. Who T-shirt paired with a flouncy knee-length skirt, the girls of WhatMy Daughter Wore are dressing only for themselves and discovering the power andjoy of their own tastes and style. What My Daughter Wore is a celebration andsnapshot of the uniqueness and creativity of the girls, the tween years, and of coursethe clothes. The What My Daughter Wore project began in Williams' Williamsburg loft, where herlive/work artist's studio had gradually morphed into a setting familiar to every parent-ahome overrun by her three kids and their many friends. Faced with diminishing spaceto paint, she turned to drawing, taking advantage of the ready inspiration the kidsprovided. The resulting drawings combine the straightforward documentary quality ofa street-style blog with the immediacy and emotion of the portraits that fill Jenny'shundreds of private sketchbooks.
