Even before Jen disappeared, Jimmy knew his best friend was leaving him behind. While she attracts stares from boys and men, fifteen-year-old Jimmy still passes for a child at the movies. He takes refuge in the past, before their friendship and life became so complicated. She"s his favorite subject - in front of the camera and otherwise - but photos can"t capture what he really wants. Yet Jimmy remains devoted, even lying for her when she runs off with strangers - men-she"s met online. Jimmy feels that Jen"s disappearance is his fault, just like the twelve-acre blaze he starts in the canyon near their trailer park. And he"s holding on to a secret that no one can drag out of him - not the taunting kids at school, an apathetic psychologist, or his despairing mother. Revolving between past and present, Paul W. Buchanan"s vivid "snapshot" vignettes evoke a young man"s struggle with oncoming adulthood, heartbreak, and incredible loss.
