This book celebrates a historic and picturesque region of Germany. This rich and innovative book follows a young American woman of German descent through a year abroad where she comes to discover the land of her ancestors -- which is also the land of Sister Maria Innocentia, the artist behind the world-famous M.I. Hummel figurines. Our narrator arrives in Bavaria in early autumn, and as she explores the landscapes, traditions and handicrafts of her ancestral country, she also comes to learn more and more about Sister Maria lnnocentia, her homeland, her art and the figurines that bear her name today.
