Sinopsis

In 1940, art-world icon Georgia OâÇÖKeeffe bought a house in a mountain-rimmed New Mexico desert, planning to live there for six months every year. To manage her remote household while she paints, OâÇÖKeeffe invited Maria Chabot-a young and naûve would-be writer-to join her.Their tempestuous relationship endured throughout the chaotic years of WW2, the death of GeorgiaâÇÖs domineering, philandering husband (famed photographer Alfred Stieglitz), and MariaâÇÖs design and building of a remarkable adobe house and studio for the artist in the native village of Abiquiu-a generous gift from an exceptional friend.An evocative story that explores the dimensions of friendship and the debts we incur to those who make our lives easier, Someone Always Nearby is based on research into a massive collection of over 700 letters, documents, media reports, and historical accounts.áReaders will be fascinated by this intimate, revealing portrait of the artistâÇÖs daily life during her first decade at her New Mexico ranch-a mysterious, enigmatic OâÇÖKeeffe that only one woman, Maria Chabot, ever fully knew.Bonus ReaderâÇÖs Guide. The story behind the story: research, sources and hyperlinked resources, curated extras, author commentary, questions and discussion topics.
