Inspired by the engaging stories told through her grandmother's photographs taken at the turn of the century, award-winning author Jane Kirkpatrick provides a portrait of the tension between darkness and light in the soul of a young woman pursuing her professional dreams. While growing in confidence as a photographer, eighteen-year-old Jessie Ann Gaebele's personal life is still at a crossroads. Hoping she's put an unfortunate romantic longing behind her as "water under the bridge," she exiles herself to Milwaukee to operate photographic studios for those ill with mercury poisoning. Jessie gains footing on her dream to one day own her own studio and soon finds herself in other Midwest towns, pursuing her profession. But even a job she loves can't keep those painful memories from seeping into her heart, and the shadows of a forbidden love threaten to darken the portrait of her life.
