THE ARTIST'S MODEL is a tender nostalgic tale of two lovers who are thwarted in their quest for physical satisfaction by the mores of the community & time in which they live. Jody Deane, the girl from a neighboring farm, stretches taut the bounds of propriety when she becomes involved with a burnt-out broker-turned-artist, John Cunningham. Attempted rape, vandalism, & a carefully devised scam place a continent between the artist & his model, as an unwritten commitment turns to ashes. John perseveres, however, & manages to convince his love that they can ultimately have an enduring relationship despite the many problems & roadblocks that are thrown in their way by her family & acquaintances. Jody's career as a concert pianist is tragically terminated as the aftermath of trauma suffered during her adolescence. When John finds that Jody must relinquish her career, he is more than ever supportive & helps her prepare for a life beyond her passion for music. The story of two ordinary people with extraordinary endowments ends, when they both realize that having each other provides more lasting satisfaction than public acclamation or material rewards.
