A Painting Called Sylvia
by Michael J. Vaughn
When Chris Weathers finds an oddly alluring artwork in a beachtown coffeehouse, he thinks he's found the answer to the visions invading his button-down life. But when he becomes the patron of its creator, a semi-homeless painter named Marcello, he unsettles the balance of his family. Being the "walking wallet" for a genius daughter and her ultra-nervous mother has its rewards, but aren't parents allowed to have lives of their own? A touching family drama from the author of the award-winning novel The Popcorn Girl.
