Paint me True by EM Tippets Book Review



Eliza began her twenties at the height of popularity. She was beautiful, stylish, and as a professional painter, had the coolest career of all of her friends. Men from church were lining up to date her, but at age thirty, she finds herself out of money, living off family charity, and dating the nerdiest loser she's ever met with no better prospects on the horizon.

A phone call from her beloved aunt summons her to Oxford, England, where she has the opportunity to paint a series depicting the ideal romance, a project that will change the way she sees life and love forevermore.

 

Emily Mah Tippetts writes romance under the name E.M. Tippetts and science fiction and fantasy under the name Emily Mah. Before she was a published author, she was an attorney who specialized in real estate, contracts, and estate planning, especially literary estate planning.

Her most recent pro publications have been her science fiction and fantasy short stories in magazines like Black Gate, Analog Science Fiction and Fact, and the anthology, Shanghai Steam.



First you think this is a book about dying, the way one person deals with it in their life time, time and time again.  

All the females in Eliza's family has suffered from a rare BRCA1 cancer, all have died.  Is she cursed as well, immune?  At a family reunion she meets her Aunt Nora, shunned by the family for what reason she doesn't know.  A bond is formed, and we learn of Nora's story in her eyes of her true love. Eliza being called upon by Nora, goes across the sea to be with her, take care of her and listen o her story.  A story she comes to ind out is just that.  

She learns about love, life, surviving and comes to realize that she has been drawing her story.  The change within her is so great, the lessons she has learned has brought her the one thing she has always wanted.

This is not a story about dying, but about living.

Cheers to E.M. Tippits... Great story and even a greater lesson
