Forged

By Deborah Cox-Walker

What if a work of art was your only means of escape? Scarlet Delamere, an aristocratic orphan, turns to a 16th-century portrait for a way out of the prison her home has become. Character fuses into art and love into politics in this coming of age novel, which centers on a flame-haired nude who looks out silently at the mundane from her gilded frame.
