Editor's Note:
A novel about one woman tangled between two men, Sam and Nathan, and her desire for both while pursuing her true passion; art. Juliana, a thirty-eight-year-old nurse, hits a crossroads when she finds herself struggling to become the serious artist she knows she is capable of being. Her artistic endeavors and propensity for taking risks are fueled by her grandmother, Alessandra. A popular artist in her youth, Alessandra escaped Italy at the height of fascism with her daughter, Isabella, Juliana's mother. Alessandra is the voice of female resolve and urges Juliana to follow her artistic gifts despite the demands of having to raise her own daughter, Louisa."Leaning against the pewter headstone, I heard my grandmother's words; 'Juliana, you must go find your legacy--you will feel at home. Ah, you go and will not return. Italia, tis an artist's heaven---a luogo of tragic beauty, mi montagna of my youth.'"Artista by the Sea is a full-circle narrative driven by hilarious and endearing friends and family in Juliana's life. Subtle gender themes depict the societal biases women continue to face both in their personal and artistic lives.The story also reveals the universal desire to know our past. To know what familial traits and events provoke our choices. For Juliana, a trip to Italy, to her grandmother's village, unlocks the answers she has been seeking. This contemporary love story, Artista by the Sea, will capture the heart of any reader who has dared to follow their callings despite the naysayers and hurdles along the way.
