Selina DeJong and the Painter of Chicago
A serialized melodrama follows Selina DeJong as she rebuilds a farm and raises her son Dirk. Dirk’s life intersects with Dallas O’ Mara, a driven studio artist who commands attention in Chicago’s volatile social and art circles. Dirk pursues Dallas while Paula Storm complicates his choices as battles of ambition, love, and social status unfold through tense dinners, studio visits, and a looming war.
