Forbidden. Hidden. Denied. Can art be powerful enough to endure? Ragni Clausonś work, relationships, and body all seem to be falling apart. And she isnt́ convinced that spending her vacation fixing up her great-grandmotherś cabin and supervising her rebellious teenage niece, Erika, will offer any much-needed rejuvenation. As Ragni and Erika clean, they begin to uncover the secret paintings and life of Nilda, Ragniś ancestor who lived in the cabin in the early 1900s. Ragni doesnt́ know how much she has in common with her great-grandmother, but it becomes clear Nilda faced her own struggles. Taking care of home and menfolk, fighting off locusts, raising her daughter, and finding time to paint in the midst of it all were not easy tasks. Will Nildaś passion for enduring art re-ignite Ragniś artistic soul a century later? Weaving together the stories of three generations of women, The Brushstroke Legacy stirs us to believe that no matter the circumstances, we are called to use our gifts - never knowing when they might bring a stranger to a new place of hope.
