Points of light by Sexton_ Linda Gray
Woman who lives in NH goes through birth and is an artist. She befriends another woman who moves to the area who is also an artist.
Loved hearing of their work spaces and how she sees things in the children about their life. Family tragedy occurs and it takes her a while to wrap her head around it all.
Like how she interacts with her husband, his dreams of raising horses and selling them, where she sells her paintings to tie them over til the next month. She can't get the image of the children bringing the mail to her...
Enjoyed hearing who they had turned to, to help with the grieving and hearing how others are coping.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). ( )

Book description
Allie Yates is a gifted artist who forsakes city life for rural bliss in New England with her farmer husband and their three children, five-year-old Anna and the twins Meggie and Jamie, aged two. One day whilst painting Jamie, Allie has a dreadful premonition, which somehow takes possession of the whole picture. Points of Light is a deeply felt novel about the loss of a child and the devastating effect it can have upon a happy family.
