In 1940, art-world icon Georgia O'Keeffe bought a house in a mountain-rimmed New Mexico desert, planning to live there for six months every year. To manage her remote household while she paints, O'Keeffe invited Maria Chabot - a young and naïve would-be writer - to join her. Their tempestuous relationship endured throughout the chaotic years of WWII; the death of Georgia's domineering, philandering husband (famed photographer Alfred Stieglitz) and Maria's design and building of a remarkable adobe house and studio for the artist in the native village of Abiquiu - a generous gift from an exceptional friend.
