Synopsis

While temporarily separated from her husband, on an academic fellowship in France, Anne Foster must cope with writing a catalogue for an important art exhibition and dealing with the sitter she has hired for her children

From the Inside Flap

s husband is in France. She has stayed behind in their small college town with her two young children -- whom she loves with an intensity that awes her -- to finish writing the catalogue for a major exhibition of the work of American Impressionist painter Caroline Watson. As she delves into Caroline's life, Anne sees a side of "mother love" she'd never fathomed. Meanwhile, Anne's live-in babysitter, Laura Post, is obsessed with a different kind of love. She sees herself as one of God's chosen and believes she has been sent to "save" Anne and her children, whether they want it or not . . .
