Short description:
Two Sara’s, twenty years apart are inexplicitly intertwined with Patrice a child of Africa, and a painting named The Girl on the Pier.
Book I
When fifteen-year-old Patrice’s grandparents go missing, she throws away old fears of intrusion and reads her Grandmother Sara’s journal. In the journal she learns of life and loves, and how she got Miss Sara Rose, a retired lady from King’s Valley Kansas as her grandmother.
After her husband’s death, Sara goes to California to be with Patrice now a student at UCLA. In Venice Beach, California, Sara meets a painter named Clyde Dales.
Book II
Thirteen years later, Miss Sara Andrews, Sara’s namesake, and the curator of Mizi’s Gallery in N.Y. has placed Clyde Dales’ painting, The Girl on the Pier, on consignment. When a customer comes to view the painting, he said, “But that’s not the painting, there is another,” and offers an exorbitant sum for it.
Sara knows something is fishy, but that doesn’t stop her. Determined to find the painting, she enrolls a newly found friend, Ryan Walker, in the search. Amid a whirlwind romance, traveling three continents, and finding Patrice again, they learn the secret of the painting.
