The inspiring true story of Jo van Gogh urged me to "un-retire" from a corporate career to start fresh.
 

“You’ve probably never heard of Jo van Gogh, but were it not for her, none of us would have ever known there was a Vincent van Gogh. In this skillfully researched and propulsive story, Joan Fernandez shares the untold history of a true unsung heroine who saved her brother-in-law’s artwork and legacy. You will root for Jo van Gogh from beginning to end."

–Renée Rosen, USA Today bestselling author of Let’s Call Her Barbie.
