Description: In this moving novel, Stone delivers a searing love story of two ravaged spirits--a screenwriter and an actress--played out under the merciless, magnifying prism of Hollywood. Gordon leaves his ruined family life behind and sets out for Mexico to watch the shooting of a film he wrote years earlier--and to see the star, Lee, an actress for whom his love will careen wildly out of control.
