Rebecca is a prohibited artist playing a dangerous game. She draws curious things like a dead wren, the scar on her foot, horses mating, and blacksmiths bathing. As these are unacceptable, she hazards questions, and when checked she quietly draws her own conclusions, one of which is
that, far more civilized than the mating of horses, human procreation occurs under the arm with a scripture verse. She also adopts the idea that what she sees as beauty she can freely praise as beauty—glorifying it with her own eye, mind, heart, and hands. But the youngest daughter in a respected family living on a North Carolina homestead in the early nineteenth century has little business trying
to get at conclusions. 

This is the story of Rebecca’s learning two things: how wrong she is and an even-so love. This novel earned the Outstanding Thesis Award in Fiction at UNCW and a finalist position in the Heekin Group Fellowship Awards. Set in a nineteenth-century Moravian community, it would appeal to readers of women’s, southern, and historical fiction.
