This is the first Mortman book I've read -- my loss. This is a really excellent novel with a fascinating storyline, engaging and believeable characters and factual accuracy. Wether it's a middle class family in the American Southwest or the wealthy Catalan aristocracy whose way of life is under attack by Francisco Franco in Spain, the historical detail and the feel for locale are wonderful. About the last in a dynasty of artists, in True Colors Mortman displays a vivid understanding of what the artist sees and feels and about what drives them to create. A great find on any level.

Could not put this book down. It was as delicious as the Wild Rose. All of Doris' books are gripping and involving. Love her work!

TRUE COLORS was an amazing book. I was not able to put the book down when I was reading. I enjoyed the story very much. It's very realistic about what goes on in the lives of women in today's day in age. It also shows women can achieve a prestiegous profession and reputaion.
I highly recommend this book.

Really enjoy this author, Doris Mortman, just finished Wild Rose and wanted more of her cultural and historical insights along with her fictional characters. True Colors gives a good look at an artist development just as Wild Rose gave the development of a classic pianist.

Wow- when they said good condition, I wasn't expecting an uncreased spine and only a single creased page.
