After the death of her Japanese American mother,
sixty-four-year-old Anne Kuroda Duppstadt finds the courage to
confront the toxic legacy of her father, a famous artist and cruel
narcissist. When a former art professor invites her to his island
art studio, she begins pursuing her lifelong dream to become an
artist in her own right. But the needs of her family tug at her
heart. Her thirty-two-year-old daughter's love life is falling
apart, and Annie's husband, facing retirement, struggles with
depression, leading her to conclude, "There is a glass ceiling for
women...and it's made out of the people we love." The Love Ceiling
draws readers into the soul of a universal theme for women: the
pull between family and creative self-expression. It is the story
of a daughter, a wife, a mother and grandmother, and a journey into
creativity.
