Frozen Lives

A hardened German soldier, a fragile mother teetering toward madness, small children adrift in hardship, and a lonely young artist--Andrew Wyeth--come together on a farm in eastern Pennsylvania. Reflecting unprecedented access granted to the author by the Kuerner family, this compellingly readable book sheds light on the complex impacts the Kuerners had on Andrew Wyeth. Even a a young boy growing up in Pennsylvania's rural Brandywine Valley, he was fascinated by his intriguing neighbors, and they would be a major souce of Wyeth's inspiration for more than seventy years. -- Provided by publisher.
