Google Books preview of Drawing Lessons by Tracy Mack - Joseph's suggestion:

- https://books.google.com/books?id=7G2...

Kirkus Review:

- "A teenager suffers through her parents’ separation in this smoothly stylized, if conventional, debut. Aurora’s world comes crashing down when she catches her artist father nuzzling a model. Rory, a talented artist herself, furiously burns her sketchbook; suddenly he’s gone, leaving Rory and her mother wallowing in teary guilt, sending back a letter with lines that infuriate: “one day you’ll understand,” and “someday, when you’re older . . . “ Rory stops all painting and drawing, and curls up around the hurt, stonewalling even her best friend, Nicky..."

Quote from the book:

- That's why I was sketching the tree and why getting the sketch right was so important. I'd never made a finished drawing of the tree before. I knew it so well i had never thought to record it.
