A Piece of the World by Christina Baker Kline
4.0

Andrew Wyeth found beauty in a run-down house and barn in Cushing, Maine. He spent 20 years sketching and painting the people and buildings in this town during his summer breaks from Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. While in Maine, he befriended Christina Olson, a crippled spinster, who lived in that run-down house with her brother, Al. This is Christina's story. She was born in that house, and as she aged, she rarely left that house. Yet, Andrew Wyeth saw something in her that no one else did and what he saw became the iconic painting, Christina's World.
