Heart of Hope by Katie Winters

An art dealer discovers the world’s next great painter, only to uncover secrets hidden behind every brushstroke.

Oriana Coleman has always had a rare eye for artistry. Over the years, she has discovered overlooked artists across the globe, selling their work for mega-millions. But her greatest find comes unexpectedly: an extraordinary painting at a Manhattan auction. Tracing it back to its source, Oriana is led to a man named Larry, a recluse who has barely left his Rocky Mountain cabin in decades.
Larry welcomes his sudden fame and fortune, but something about him doesn’t add up. As Oriana spends more time in his tiny Colorado town, she begins to hear whispers: about the true origin of the paintings, and about what may have happened to Larry’s wife, who vanished decades ago.
As the truth comes into focus, Oriana must ask herself: What kind of art does she want to champion? What kind of wife does she want to be? And how can she move into the next chapter of her life with honesty, hope, and beauty?

Heart of Hope is book fifteen of The Coleman Series, a heart-wrenching yet hopeful family drama that unfolds between the glittering shores of Nantucket Island and Martha’s Vineyard.
