On The Point, we talk with Sally Cabot Gunning about her latest work of historical fiction Painting the Light. The story follows a young woman at the turn of the 20th Century, navigating tragedy, and the mysteries her dead husband leaves behind. Through a journey of disappointment, joy and accomplishment she finds her place in the world and the secret to painting the light.
