But now Richard says the only way she can truly understand O’Keeffe is by getting into O’Keeffe’s skin and reenacting her famous nude photos.

In the intimacy of Richard’s studio, Elizabeth experiences an intoxicating abandon, never thinking the photographs could be made public. Elizabeth demands that Richard dismantle the exhibit. He refuses.

“Quest for Eternal Sunshine” by Mendek Rubin and Myra Goodman

This is the triumphant story of Mendek Rubin, a brilliant inventor who overcame the trauma of the Holocaust and decades of depression to live a life of deep peace. Mendek grew up in a Hassidic Jewish family in Poland amid extreme anti-Semitism. He survived three horrific years in Nazi concentration camps while virtually his entire family was murdered.

Arriving in America in 1946, his inventions helped revolutionize the jewelry and packaged-salad industries. Mendek also applied his ingenuity to his own psyche, developing ways to heal his heart and emotional suffering. After Mendek died in 2012, his daughter, Myra Goodman, found an unfinished manuscript in which he’d revealed the details of his healing journey. This book is that story.
