Rebecca Bischoff Books

The French Impressionist

Rosemary is fifteen and gloriously free, on her own for the very first time. Part of an exchange program for aspiring artists, she arrives in southern France with one goal: she doesn’t plan to leave, ever. She wants a new life and a new identity. But her situation, crafted from lies big and small, is precarious.

As Rosemary struggles to hide her lack of artistic talent and obvious communication disorder from her new family, she must ultimately choose whether or not she’ll tell the biggest lie of all, even if it means destroying the life of someone she cares about.

Reader Reviews

“With enough mystery to keep adults entertained, readers will not be able to put this down. Rosemary suffers from a speech issue but this enhanced the story instead of making it feel like a morality tale focused on accepting people with disabilities. The well-crafted storyline was excellent. Rosemary can come and live with me anytime. One of the best YA books of the year.”
Entrada Book Review
“I had never read a book about someone with a communication disability, so that was different and a bit enlightening. I was able to connect with the main character, Rosemary, due to her need to be heard.”
Bibi
"I found this story to be deeply moving and very compelling. The characters and the setting and the situations are unique and beautifully created by the author. I was very involved in this story from beginning to end, and I was rooting for the protagonist...she broke my heart and she inspired me."
Heidi M.
“In this passionate heartwarming tale relish with full of emotions such as sorrow, fear, anger, surprise, joy, happiness, desire, guilty, etc. That’s why I indicate this as a battle of emotions. And Rosemary was able to unravel another mystery that buried nearly 5 decades. Overall, this was enjoyable, exciting and captivating reading for me.”

“I got to be one of the lucky beta readers for this book, and I can’t wait to see it in print! Rosemary is spunky and determined, in spite of her challenges. Rebecca Bischoff paints a vivid setting, and brings her characters to life. I can’t wait for everyone else to get to read it!”

“I rarely pick up books and start reading them immediately just because of a cover, but this happened with The French Impressionist. It was a “love at first sight” kind of thing that I knew I had to read and I’m glad I did since I ended up enjoying it.”
Melissa Robles
“I love the writing style of this author! This was such a fun read with a very unique plot. Reading about Rosemary’s struggle with communication was new and fascinating to me. I gained a new outlook on those with speech problems.”
