Paint Me Althena — Naomi Musch

Ava Day lost her way. Three years ago, she abandoned her artist husband Ethan and their small daughters, convinced they'd be better off without her. Living as Althena Bell, she's buried love and searched for identity in painting her fantasy art again. She's also moved in with Dan, a fellow whose idea of artistic expression is the ink on his arms and a purring street bike dressed in chrome.

After Ava left, Ethan found refuge in a new faith encouraged to grow by lovely widow Jackie Meyer. Now he's wondering if it's time to give up on Ava and move on.

But when Ava's bohemian lifestyle sours, danger lands her in the haven of Ethan's home again. Her children no longer know her, and her heart aches to recapture the past, but conflict between Ava's search for identity and Ethan's new faith might break the safety net he offers.
