I very much enjoyed this book about Georgia O'Keefe, the person and artist. She was quite an interesting and hard to get to know person. There were parts of her life that had me feeling sad for her, things and experiences that she had to go through that nowadays we have help for. It was a good read, and an interesting perspective of her life and artwork.
