I became familiar with Rebecca Godfrey after watching "Under the Bridge" and was sad to learn of her death. It is such a wonderful testament to the meaning of an author's work when loved ones come together to finish it and Jamison's commentary at the end was really lovely. This is a creative novel about a non-fictional character, Peggy Guggenheim, an art collector with a fascinating life, spurred by events that occurred after her father died in the Titanic sinking. The author(s) use core events & facts from Guggenheim's life and expound with on intricacies and details, using creative liberties to do so.  I did enjoy this book and the content inspired me to learn more about Guggenheim.  Trigger warning for physical & psychological abuse.
