After helping stop a major art heist in London, Clare James just wants to return stateside and enjoy college creating art for her senior exhibit and getting to know reformed playboy, Toby Fir. Then a friend's mother is in a car accident and Clare deviates from her plans by agreeing to finish a portrait commission so her friend can go home. The fly in the ointment is the portrait's strict deadline. Clare must meet it so they can graduate together in the spring. And that's when the palette falls on the floor face down, so to speak. In a clandestine meeting, a young genius pressures her to find a missing movie file stolen from a highly secure computer graphics lab. Inadvertently she learns the campus' most unpopular professor's best-kept secret. And suddenly she's facing expulsion when someone anonymously accuses her of copying her art exhibit pieces. Plus that portrait with the strict deadline? It could be a problem since the subject has gone missing. But that's only the beginning as Clare faces her own stains. Can she prove her integrity and protect someone she dislikes? Does her past have anything to do with the movie theft? And can she find her missing model before it's too late? Find out if Clare's faith is stretched too far this time in Soul Stain, the second Clare James Art Adventure. Discussion questions included. www.charleneyoder.com
