Book Review By Jessica Marler
Girl With A Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier

At age sixteen, Griet is sent to be a maid in Johannes Vermeer's household because her father is unable to work. She becomes more comfortable with her new home than her parents' house, where she finds that fame does not equal riches. Griet assists Vermeer in his paintings, eventually posing for him, but must hide her new work from her mistress and the sneaky children ready to sabotage her.
