Jennie Nash’s first novel, The Last Beach Bungalow, was praised as “lyrical” and “winning.” Now, in a story set against the heroic landscape of the American West, she gives us a story about three generations of artists who are grappling with the source of creativity and the limits of love.

Claire has a successful career as a food photographer, a loving husband, a gorgeous home on the beach, and a daughter whose career as a painter is in the brink of taking off. The one thing she doesn’t have is the acceptance of her father, a legendary landscape photographer who believed that, in their family, genius skipped a generation.
