Description: "When Judy O'Shea, a corporate executive and aspiring artist, leaves the world of business to embrace the world of art, she and her husband, Mike, decide to pursue a mutual dream: to live in another country; learn its history, language, and culture; and become part of the local community. Water Paper Stone: Letters From a Mill in France is the story of their years in Southwest France, where they restored and lived in a beautiful 18th century water mill, became fluent in French, ran an artists-in-residence program, created their own art, and formed deep bonds with their neighbors. Told as a collection of Judy's journal entries and letters to her beloved sister Linda, Water Paper Stone is an immersion in the real world of the heartland of France, complete with both its light and its shadows."--
