Dorothea Dreams

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of post-Revolution France, the story unfolds as artist Dorothea Howard grapples with the haunting presence of a ghostly judge and the magical grip of her own creation. Her desire for solitude is shattered when Ricky Maulders, a dying friend, visits her, only to be interrupted by three Chicano teens fleeing the law and a group of summer-school students. This chaotic intrusion forces Dorothea to confront the complexities of life and politics she has long evaded.
