"I'm fifty years old, somewhat overweight and naked for the summer," Andi Everson writes in a message when describing herself in "The Sketchbook". Enduring her dilemma is a test of her resolve. Andi's ordeal is recorded in the drawings and notes of the artist, Caleb Mackay. He takes her to stay at his cabin. She finds a new life in the neighboring town. The details of it are told by the writer friend upon whom they bestow Caleb's sketchbook in the end. Will Andi lose her nerve or prove how the sight of a body is harmless after all?
