The Music Hall Welcomes Bestselling Author Christina Baker Kline

The Music Hall welcomes to its Loft stage the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train (3 million copies sold in 40 countries), Christina Baker Kline. In her new bestselling novel, A PIECE OF THE WORLD, Kline turns her attention to another little-known part of America's history: the story of Christina Olson. Born in the Cushing, Maine home her family had lived in for generations, and increasingly incapacitated by illness, Christina seemed destined for a small life. Instead, for more than twenty years, she was host and inspiration for artist Andrew Wyeth, and became the subject of one of the best known American paintings of the twentieth century-Christina's World. Told in evocative and lucid prose, A PIECE OF THE WORLD is a story about the burdens and blessings of family history, and how artist and muse can come together to forge a new and timeless legacy.
