Description
Award-winning author Ellen Prentiss Campbell’s newest historical novel, Vanishing Point, is a family epic spanning three generations and a hundred years from the 1880’s to the 1980’s. It tells the intriguing story of Pennsylvania artist George Hetzel’s complicated family, their loves and losses, triumphs and sorrows, secrets and mysteries.
The novel explores the tensions between family life and art, including the challenge for George’s daughter Lila and granddaughter Dorothy who endeavor to keep his legacy alive while striving to achieve their own aspirations as creative women.
Like George Hetzel’s paintings of the woodlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania, Vanishing Point is a mixture of light and shadow. Deeply researched and vividly imagined, it presents a family you will long remember as it celebrates the enduring strength of love and art.
