With her mother dead of the plague, and her beloved brother newly married, Cornelia must manage her father's household, though he teeters on the brink of madness. She knows that among Amsterdam's elite circles, people are gossiping about her father's fading artistic genius--and about her, too. Yet there are two young men who seem unfazed by the slander- and very much intrigued by Cornelia. Set within the vibrant community of the 17th century Dutch Masters, I Am Rembrandt's Daughter is a moving coming of age story filled with family drama and a love triangle that would make Jane Austen proud.

This dazzling, unconventional biography shows us why, more than three centuries after his death, Rembrandt continues to exert such a hold on our imagination. Deeply familiar to us through his enigmatic self-portraits, few facts are known about the Leiden miller's son who tasted brief fame before facing financial ruin (he was even forced to sell his beloved wife Saskia's grave). The true biography of Rembrandt, as Simon Schama demonstrates, is to be discovered in his pictures. Interweaving of seventeenth-century Holland, Schama allows us to see Rembrandt in a completely fresh and original way.

Fresh from San Francisco via Amtrak, ashes of her mother in tow, zany Rachel Sondheim lands in New York to bury them. She struggles against the odds, not only of Jewish law and history, but that of her older sister. Comic and serious by turns, Rachel weaves her way through high-jinx that counterpoint weighty discussions of mother and daughter, sister and sister, life and death, God. Through laughter and tears DAUGHTER shows us how modern spirituality thrives on its ancient connections.
