As a newcomer--and naïve one at that--Dorothea is grateful for the fast friendship of Caroline Lee, a vivacious, straight-talking Chinese American with a complicated past, who introduces Dorothea to Monkey Block, an artists' colony and the bohemian heart of the city. Dazzled by Caroline and her friends, Dorothea is catapulted into a heady new world of freedom, art, and politics. She also finds herself falling in love with the brilliant but troubled painter Maynard Dixon. As Dorothea sheds her innocence, her purpose is awakened and she grows into the artist whose iconic Depression-era \"Migrant Mother\" photograph broke the hearts and opened the eyes of a nation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA vivid and absorbing portrait of the past, \u003ci\u003eThe Bohemians\u003c\/i\u003e captures a cast of unforgettable characters, including Frida Kahlo, Ansel Adams, and D.
