In April of 1890, Carrington Brouwer finds herself alone. After growing up in Paris with a father struggling to make a name for himself as an artist, Carrie is forced to find a place to live and a way to support herself when her father dies. One of her father’s former art students, Augusta Galloway, invites Carrie to return to America and to visit the Galloway family in Ohio until Carrie can make more permanent arrangements. Carrie takes the few personal belongings she has and sets off to find a future for herself.
Judith Miller’s The Carousel Painter is a delightful read about a spunky young woman who has a lot to learn about herself and the world around her.
