The Art of Deception is book # 2 in the Secrets of Grandma’s Attic fiction series. At a St. Louis flea market, sisters Amy Allen and Tracy Doyle and their cousin Robin Davisson discover an unexpected treasure at one of the booths: a rolled-up oil painting from the 1930s that once hung over Grandma Pearl’s fireplace. They have not seen the marvelous portrait of the young woman in a green velvet dress for years and wonder how it ended up there, minus its frame. Delighted by their find, they buy the portrait and take it home to see if they can finally discover the secret origins of Green Girl. But they never expect to learn that the painting was reported stolen in the 1980s! Meanwhile, Amy has been working hard to build trust with her foster kids, Matt and Jana, in the hopes of adopting them. But a piece of unexpected news threatens to change Amy’s plans. Can Amy trust God with the outcome, even if it’s not what she wants it to be?
