Summary:
National Bestseller masterful literary talent explores the treacherous, often violent borders between war and sex, love and art. With the flash of a camera, one girl's life is shattered, and a host of others altered forever. . .In a war-torn village in Eastern Europe, an American photographer captures a heart-stopping image: a young girl flying toward the lens, fleeing a fiery explosion that has engulfed her home and family. The image wins acclaim and prizes, becoming an icon for millions-and a subject of obsession for one writer, the photographer's best friend, who has suffered a devastating tragedy of her own. As the writer plunges into a suicidal depression, her filmmaker husband enlists several friends, including a fearless bisexual poet and an ingenuous performance artist, to save her by rescuing the unknown girl and bringing her to the

. And yet, as their plot unfolds, everything we know about the story comes into question: What does the writer really want? Who is controlling the action?
