Description
While cleaning out her grandmother's New York brownstone, Emsley Wilson finds a diary that belonged to Johanna Bonger, Vincent van Gogh's sister-in-law, who inherited van Gogh's paintings. The paintings were worthless, Johanna was a 28 year old widow with a baby living in Paris, and she barely spoke the language. Yet she introduced van Gogh's legacy to the world. Emsley needs the inspiration.
