Publisher's Description

John Stanhope, a young attorney in Los Angeles, receives a letter informing him of the death of his estranged father, photographer Logan Stanhope. With it are three baffling negatives and one that is all too familiar, the famous Nude on the Beach. This bequest leads him on an outward journey to beautiful Mendocino, California, and on an inward journey to a healing that comes through painful self-discovery in a supportive community. The Whole Picture is an unfolding mystery, told with humor and wisdom, that explores the psychology of the shadow, the nature of art, and the power of grace.


Endorsements (1)

“In The Whole Picture, Donald McCullough applies a deft touch to a novel whose multivalent features increase in beauty and depth until the final passage in which fathers and sons, friends and loved ones move from shadow to light, singing behind the veil of this world as if beckoning a world eternal. McCullough has written with the rare touch of one whose prose gives life and whose psychological acumen leads through darkness toward an ever-widening community of grace.”
