Overview

"When three colleagues die violently during a single wartime election day in Central America, two female journalists, best friends, are hurled into a torrent of change in their personal and professional lives and in their relationship with each other. The author, bedeviled by stress and feelings of abandonment, hangs on by her fingernails to reporting while her dear friend ""just can't take another picture of a dead body"" and throws herself into teaching photography to children who live in a garbage dump. Big questions quietly roil their lives--What is our responsibility to history? To individuals?--until unexpectedly, they approach an answer together, when a child from the dump goes missing."
