Award-winning author Donald Lystra brings us an unforgettable tale of love, loss, and self-discovery, capturing the turbulent spirit of 1960s America and the uncharted territory of the human heart.
Searching for Van Gogh is a stirring novel set in 1963 in America's industrial Midwest. Nate, a young man with a gift for math and science, rejects a comfortable future by walking away from college to pursue painting-a desperate attempt to access the emotions buried deep within him following the tragic death of his revered older brother. But Nate's search for meaning is lonely and frustrating until he meets Audrey Brubaker, a paradox of strength and vulnerability, who becomes a sort of mentor to Nate, guiding him toward self-discovery. But in the end it is Audrey who will ultimately need Nate's emotional insight, and in a devastating turn, she seeks redemption in the most unexpected way-forcing Nate to tap into the very depths of empathy and courage she's helped him to uncover.
