In 1892 Paris, Julius Stewart painted The Baptism, a Vanderbilt family scene that contains an embarrassing secret. In the present day, art historian Grace Atwood becomes obsessed with the painting and its hidden clues for reasons that have more to do with her personal ghosts. Either her doting husband is trying to make her think she’s crazy, or she really is in the early stages of dementia.

The fictional version of the art scandal behind Julius Stewart's painting The Baptism is now backed up by peer journal documentation. This edition of the novel includes the whitepaper, research bibliography, rare photographs, and more.

The mostly true story of how we got the ballpoint pen in 1945, it's a comedy about an outrageous huckster and his mild-mannered son.
