The Photograph is the story of Anna Sinclair, a woman who risks losing a loving husband and a beautiful daughter in order to unravel the mystery of her identity. A single word uttered by her dying mother propels Anna into a global quest in search of the man in a photograph found in her mother’s bedroom. Her contented world comes crashing down around her as she is forced to confront the ugly reality of her father’s identity and the secret her mother kept from her. Her pursuit of the truth takes her to Washington, DC, Poland, Berlin, Jerusalem, and finally Bolivia. And as the revelations come to light they push her into a maelstrom of self-doubt, fear, and terror.
Excerpt
Anna’s mind went blank, her grip on sanity gone. Around her danced the shrouded demons every parent fears. The demons were faceless, only gray ether under their hoods. They swirled in front of her, each pointing a bony finger, accusingly. Anna’s hysteria reached a climax again and in a blind rage she extended her arms to keep the demons at bay. It was no use, they forced their way into her tormented soul. She screamed in agony while the demons whirled inside her, controlling her, driving her to madness.
In a post-coup America, an Illinois farm boy is drawn into the resistance by his brother's death. Captured, he is given a choice: betray his friends, or the girl he loves will be lobotomized.
