Eh.

I couldn't sympathize with the whiny, self-absorbed narrator. "I have a loving husband, talented daughter, amazing home in Manhattan Beach, and a successful freelance photography business working for Oprah & Martha Stewart. But my daddy never loved me and I'm jealous of my daughter." Wah. Cry me a freaking river.

Interesting book exploring the relationships between family members and their chosen art professions. The father is legendary photographing landscapes, while the daughter, successful in her own food photography, is in his shadow. She is not confident and loses her touch after his death. The father passes away leaving her with lots of questions about herself and their relationship. Then her own daughter, a college student painter inherits all from her grandfather. Is there only One True Genius in the Family?
