Full Description
Lucy Potter is a successful artist but she has done no
new work in months. She fears she has lost the creative spark that sustained
her and enabled her to express her view of the world. Will she ever regain it?
The chance discovery of an old notebook while on a
walk in the woods provides a welcome distraction, raising questions she cannot
answer. Who wrote it, why is it in code, what secrets does it hide? And why
does it include the address of a house that does not exist?
Partial decoding of the notebook, surely written many
years ago, reveals troubling incidents in the life of an unnamed girl. Deeply
affected by the girl's plight, Lucy feels impelled to find out who she is or
was and what happened to her. Could she still be alive?
Lucy's search for answers has an outcome she could
never have anticipated. But will the re-appearance in Lucy's life of fellow
artist Rex Monday help or hinder her attempts to re-establish her position in
the art world - and provide the stability she needs in her personal life?
As the story unfolds, we are drawn into the world as
seen through Lucy's eyes. A world of colour and light, of shape and pattern and
texture, inviting us to see it that way too.
