The Red Wheelbarrow: A Novel

Amy Barnes, a high school English teacher from Hawai'i, and Paul Rideau, a Vermont farmer, lead ordinary lives dedicated to their families and work, yet each harbors a secret passion for creative expression-Paul in painting and Amy in poetry. When infidelity fractures her life, and a tragic accident decimates his, they struggle to find their way through loss and grief. Their creative pursuits help them heal and reimagine their lives as authentic selves. 



A quiet, literary story, The Red Wheelbarrow reminds us of the power of art to transform, of love and decency to triumph, and of hope to endure.
