    [synopsis] => Book Two of the Portraits in Blue Series, Shattered Dreams continues talented young artist, Jack Tomlinson's story. With his eyes now opened to experiences outside those of his conservative upbringing, Jack realises that a life dedicated to painting offers opportunities he cannot ignore. Boldly, deferring the unappealing career that awaits him in Australia, Jack accompanies Sofia and Andres to their home in Malaga, Spain. Whilst Jack finds joy in days spent painting alongside Andres, his relationship with Sofia is marred by cultural differences and misunderstandings.Although they find happiness together, tragedy and economic circumstances beset them, and Jack encourages Sofia to leave the home she loves. Returning to Australia, they become captivated by the magnetic personality of Melbourne's inspiring, albeit unconventional, tonalist artist, Justus Jorgensen.They join Justus' group of passionate supporters who are committed to creating Montsalvat, an alternative style artist's retreat set amid Australian bushland. Although Jack's dreams seem to be full-filled by the bohemian lifestyle Montsalvat offers, the emerging darkness of Justus' personality becomes overwhelming. As Jack and Sofia are forced to reconsider their  future, tragedy strikes, and Jack discovers that happiness can be very fragile. Searching for Sofia is the third book in the Portraits in Blue Series, which traverses bohemian art worlds, including the Bloomsburys' Sussex, Hemmingway's Paris, Picasso's Malaga and the Eltham of the Montsalvat artists, in an epic tale of passion and heartbreak, family and art.Other books include:The Sun Rose in Paris: Book One - Portraits in Blue Series Searching for Sofia: Book Three - Portraits in Blue SeriesSofia's Story: Book Four - Portraits in Blue Series
