REVIEWS:

Karen Holt Jenkins
"Harriet Scott Chessman's prose moves with the deceptive beauty of a ballet dancer, its weightless grace diverting attention from the muscularity powering every gesture. . ." 

Dinitia Smith, The New York Times
“A Voice Out of the Silence: Imagining the Other Cassatt,” March 4, 2002 Lydia Cassatt was one of history's silent women. . . . 
Alan Cheuse, “All Things Considered,” Oct. 2001
“One woman poses; the other woman paints.  And that’s not the only difference between these loving sisters.” . . .

We hope to see you this Friday night.
