Thea's world lacks a fixed point, a resting pole. Childhood, adolescence, and the early adult years are for the loner a constant search, letting go, moving on - never getting too attached to one person, avoiding commitments. Suddenly, the encounter with the fascinating travel photographer Suzannah throws Thea off balance. Suzannah's allure offers the safety and security that Thea has fled from all these years. After much reluctance, she allows herself to engage. Over time, she realizes that Suzannah has become a part of her world. But one day, Suzannah is gone, and this sudden loss heralds a new chapter in Thea's life, a chapter in which she clings to what remains of this unique love: thoughts, memories, and the many images of her, of Suzannah. Karen-Susan Fessel digs deep.
