At nine years old, on her first visit to a museum, Emily fell in love with Breakfast , a painting by Henri Matisse.
The Art of Her Life shows the power of art to transform an ordinary life.
Matisse\'s words and paintings permeate her days and nights, and glancing at a note card of the painting she loves, she sees something she\'s never seen before.
Her days are a jumble-she\'s lost the thread of her life-but a contest at the museum where she\'s the registrar gives her hope-the chance to see Breakfast again.
Now a single mother, she lives in the world of art and can barely find time for her two daughters, much less for Mark, the man she loves.
