"When I finished this novel, I knew I would be haunted and empowered by Artemisia Gentileschi's story for the rest of my life."--Amanda Lovelace, bestselling author of the princess saves herself in this one A William C. Morris Debut Award Finalist2018 National Book Award Longlist Her mother died when she was twelve, and suddenly Artemisia Gentileschi had a stark choice: a life as a nun in a convent or a life grinding pigment for her father's paint. She chose paint. By the time she was seventeen, Artemisia did more than grind pigment. She was one of Rome's most talented painters, even if no one knew her name. But Rome in 1610 was a city where men took what they wanted from women, and in the aftermath of rape Artemisia faced another terrible choice: a life of silence or a life of truth, no matter the cost. He will not consume
my every thought.
I am a painter.
I will paint. Joy McCullough's bold novel in verse is a portrait of an artist as a young woman, filled with the soaring highs of creative inspiration and the devastating setbacks of a system built to break her. McCullough weaves Artemisia's heartbreaking story with the stories of the ancient heroines, Susanna and Judith, who become not only the subjects of two of Artemisia's most famous paintings but sources of strength as she battles to paint a woman's timeless truth in the face of unspeakable and all-too-familiar violence. I will show you

Award winning tuxedo!
Size: Large, Color: Baby Pink, Size: Large, Color: Baby Pink
Love this tuxedo suit! I’ve worn it a few times - to two different weddings and an Academy Awards viewing party, where I even won for best dressed. I get so many comments on it. The jacket and vest fit perfectly, however the pants are long and I had to hem them, but “stitch witchery” tape worked fine. The pants are also a little “stiff” - not a smooth fabric. But for occasional wear, it’s fine! The bow tie was sold separately.

Slim fit
Size: Large, Color: Brown
I recently purchased the brown slim-fit suit and am very impressed! For reference, I’m 6’2” and 222 lbs, and while I usually wear a size large, I went with an XL based on the fit advice and it was the perfect choice. This suit does run a bit small, so ordering a size up is definitely the way to go.
The slim fit is flattering and modern without being restrictive, and the rich brown color adds a unique and stylish touch to any occasion. The material feels high-quality, and the overall craftsmanship is excellent. If you're looking for a sharp, well-fitting suit, this one is a fantastic option—just be mindful of the sizing!

Good Decision !
Size: Large, Color: Dark Black, Size: Large, Color: Dark Black
Upon receiving the suit we were definitely skeptical because certain materials don't match the pictures. But Baby when we say this one came and showed up. It was great material , not cheap feeling if you get what Im saying. The pants, jacket and vest all came as it said it would. Nothing was missing! It came pressed and very wrinkle free so it was taking care of prior to shipping out. We got a Large for my son because of course he wanted a slimmer fit. But it did work out. He had enough room to comfortably be able to move. And for it truly was a steal for how much it costed. This literally felt like it was suppose to cost a few hundred , but it was so affordable.
