About this title

Review:

Joyce Carol Oates Fascinating...filled with riches...what a personality emerges from these pages!

Chicago Tribune Readers will welcome what Lisle has found. The woman who emerges has extraordinary personal stature, artistic gifts, commitment to her vision.

San Francisco Chronicle An excellent portrait of a nearly legendary figure.

Patricia Bosworth Portrait of an Artist moved me deeply -- I can't remember when a book involved me so totally.

Christian Science Monitor This O'Keeffe will shock as much as amuse, chill as much as inspire.

Eleanor Munro author of Originals: American Woman Artists Laurie Lisle has given us a mortal Georgia O'Keeffe, whose human hunger and frailties, gifts and strengths enabled her to survive -- triumphantly -- a conflicted life.
