I have been looking online and I think time and poor restoration efforts have made her seem ugly . There is much for me to learn . I especially enjoyed this book because my youngest is so into art and I am not . This gave me a way to relate to his passion , to get excited over it .

Question: Why did she want to get into art ?
Answer: She wanted to get a specific book .To restore art .To relate with her kid .So she could find a hobby .
