All eighteen-year-old Maisie Clark wants to do is leave her tiny town in upstate New York. Crescent Valley is home to Glenna's, the family-run portrait shop she loves more than anything. But after years of imitating her dad's artistic style, Maisie fears she will never find her own voice. So, she comes up with a plan: quit working at Glenna's, go to art school in London, and, most importantly, stop painting portraits. If she can't find her voice by the end of the year, she'll give up art entirely.
