About the Book

Kate Tapert sees her life in paintings. She makes sense of the world around her by relating it to what she adores--art. Armed with a suitcase, some canvases, and a scholarship to art school in Detroit, Kate is ready to leave home and fully immerse herself in painting. Sounds like heaven. All Kate needs is a place to stay. That place is the home of her father, famous and reclusive artist Dalton Quinn, a father she hasn't seen or heard from in nearly ten years. When Kate knocks on his door out of the blue, little does she realize what a life-altering move that will turn out to be. But Kate has a dream, and she will work her way into Dalton's life, into his mind, into his heart . . . whether he likes it or not.

Review :
"See What I See is an absolutely riveting and heartrending work of fiction. I read it in a single session---it contains numerous surprises and doesn't shrink from the seriousness of its subject and from the wonderful integrity of its young heroine Kate." - Joyce Carol Oates Praise for Gloria Whelan' previous works: "The evocative setting is a backdrop to the sensitive, sometimes comedic family story filled with character lessons for Verna and compassionate questions about mental illness and its treatment." - ALA Booklist, on The Locked Garden "Whelan's well-developed story line and characterization present a short, psychological drama of a boy struggling to come to terms with his past so that his future identity, be that Jewish or Christian, can be formed." - School Library Journal, on After the Train "This book is engaging from the first page. Artistic- and literary-minded girls may particularly appreciate Kate's passion for painting and the struggles she's willing to endure to live a creative life." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) "An insightful, beautifully written, culturally illuminating tale of universal feelings." - ALA Booklist, on Homeless Bird "Whelan has enhanced a simple but satisfying story with loving detail about traditional Indian life, the harsh reality of feudal customs that persist today, and the complexity of cultural change." - School Library Journal (starred review), on Homeless Bird "An old-fashioned story of courage that will appeal to many, by a National Book Award-winning author who is good at telling such stories. The description is done vividly. Any reader will admire Rachel." - KLIATT, on Listening for Lions "Kate's journey from selfishness to selflessness and back to the healthy middle path is quietly touching." - Kirkus Reviews "With clear and elegant prose, Whelan portrays a gradually developing and complex relationship built on guilt, curiosity, love and a passion for art." - Booklist "Beautifully expressing adolescent uncertainties and yearnings, this intimate novel will draw readers who, like Kate, have big hearts and big dreams." - Publishers Weekly
