The Brushstroke Legacy by Gold Angel-winning author Lauraine Snelling highlights a modern woman's journey of self-discovery. When Chicago native Ragni Claussen grudgingly agrees to take her sullen niece with her to spruce up the family's old North Dakota cabin, she uncovers long-hidden secrets about how her greatgrandmother- in 1903-learned to live and paint and love in this very place.

"I enjoyed this book more than most might just because I could relate to well to the main character. I too am an artist struggling to find my way. Lauraine blends all the characters together nicely and reading the past helps you with what is happening in the present."

— Barbi, 6/13/2013" Lauraine Snelling wonderfully interweaved the past with the present in this book about artists. A compelling story and a great read. "
— Bertha, 4/6/2013" I really enjoyed this book. I liked the flow of the book and the descriptions were not too much. "
— Sbugsy, 5/29/2012" I can see why Nancy would like this. It's about an artist, and re-doing an ancestral cabin, and the beauty of nature. It also shows city people opening up to the beauties of nature. "
— Marilyn, 2/4/2012" This was a nice read for the week. It was easy to read and get in a few chapters each night to help get my eyes tired. I love reading romance stories set in the old west times. This was another good one from Lauraine Snelling. "
— Amy, 11/21/2011" This was the very first Lauraine Snelling book I read. It hooked me. Everything I have read by Lauraine Snelling has been great. Can't go wrong with this author. "
— Leedra, 4/27/2011" A more modern christian romance setting with a parallel story from the main character's ancestor. Overall a good read, but still fairly predictable ending. I enjoyed the story line of the ancestor the most. "
— Esther, 4/2/2010" Got lost in this story and found myself wanting to express myself through painting even though I've never painted anything in my life! Love the connection of generations of women - and the unveiling of the likenesses that carry through the family's bloodline. "
— B.J., 9/10/2009" When I started the book it didn't seem like it was one of Lauraine Snelling's books. I expected this book to be of pioneer days and it wasn't. She still included rural or small town living. It was different but still enjoyable. "
