During this program we celebrated Christina’s historical fiction novel “A Piece of the World.” This book reimagines the life of Christina Olson, subject of Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting Christina’s World. Christina was joined for her Writer’s Q&A by a representative of the Olson House. Together they painted a picture for us of what Christina Olson’s life was truly like. For her Keynote, Christina was in conversation with Jamie Wyeth, artist and son of Andrew Wyeth.

Christina Baker Kline and Jamie Wyeth were a dynamic duo!
