Clara Brodeur is the daughter of photographer, Ruth Dunne. Ruth became famous with the nude photos she took of Clara from the ages of 3 - 14. They have been on display in galleries and museums. Clara had a difficult childhood once the pictures became famous. All of her life she tried to hide the fact that she was the one in the photos. When she turned 18 she left home to try and start a new life, ending up in Maine, getting married and having a child of her own. Now Ruth is dying and Clara has been asked to come home. She has not seen or spoken to Ruth in 14 years.
This is a gripping and complex story, that is well written.
