β¦ Synopsis
"In 1905, on her twenty-sixth birthday, Mimi Reventlow receives a marriage proposal from the vicar of her family's church. But a future of housework, childcare, and servicing a parish doesn't appeal to the restless and unconventional Mimi. She has ambitions of her own - to follow in the footsteps of her beloved uncle Josef and become a traveling photographer. Leaving behind all that has been mapped out for her, Mimi dares to pursue her passion and sets out alone to make her own mark.A visit to her ailing uncle in the idyllic mountain town of Laichingen, Germany, pauses Mimi's journey. Here, among provincialism and rejection, she struggles to find her place within a vibrant but wary community. But Mimi's resilience is only strengthened by adversity. Her courage is indomitable. Maybe here, among surprising kindred spirits and longing hearts, in a place she never expected, Mimi's dreams might be coming into focus."--Publisher description.
