Larque is an artist living with her husband Hoot, her three sons, and dog. She has the ability to create doppelgangers but the latest one is different. This little girl is dirty with a snotty nose and an attitude. She is Skylark at ten years old. She makes Larque realize that she is not living the dreams she had as a child. She wanted to be a cowboy, have courage, and fight the bad guys. Instead, Larque paints cows and countryside settings. Skaylark takes off and Larque goes after her. She finds another part of town, full of mystical places. In order to be true to herself, she must find Skylark and make amends.
The book has a steady pace, the characters are developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. The author has a captivating writing style. She made me realize that we all have three parts within ourselves and we must embrace all of them to be true to ourselves. If you like grown-up books with adult themes and a mystical twist, you will enjoy this book.
