Description
A love story about dreaming on a tightrope in contemporary Los Angeles, by Zoe Marie Bel. This special edition also features Bel's L.A. short story 'Jerks', plus a preview of her novel 'After The Angels'.
"A poignant and observant story of love and regret... Bel is a gifted storyteller who brings rich character development and humane insight to the briskly paced narrative."—Kirkus Reviews
Tyler is an aspiring writer from the Midwest who meets his first great love when she's perched on the lowest rung of Hollywood and he's sleeping in his car. With nothing but the breath in their lungs and each other, they set out to make Los Angeles their own.
Their turbulent relationship is recalled years later, after one of them has endured and the other has not. A tragic but tender love story about the weight of dreaming when nothing is affordable, opportunity has a security camera, and toxic escapism is everywhere.
