In this landscape populated by aspiring rock stars, addicts, Hell's Angels and misfits, eccentric spontaneity is a way of life. This is where Sara, a struggling painter, works, lives and loves. She hasn't made it yet, but she's confident that her talent will carry her through. Sometimes. Sometimes she thinks she's only fooling herself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Her ally is sardonic, witty Carrie, whose look is part \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e model, part bag lady. Her undoing may be Brett, an irresistibly charming, fitfully romantic \"trouble boy.\" A musician, he is by turns boyishly playful, surly, impetuous and thoroughly unreliable.

But release from her obsession is as elusive as art itself.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Listfield\u003c\/b\u003e, author of\u003ci\u003e Variations in the Night\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSlightly Like Strangers, \u003c\/i\u003ewas born and raised in New York City.
