Can a young war correspondent find herself and follow her heart? In this work of historical fiction, 20-something Annabella “Annie” March arrives in France in 1944 intending to write about the war. Soon, however, Annie begins to distance herself from her sometimes-mentor, sometimes-rival - the great Martha Gellhorn - and Gellhorn’s larger-than-life husband, the novelist Ernest Hemingway. She turns to photography in the hopes of making her own name and, to her delight, discovers that images come more easily than words.

El cerco de la ciudad por parte del ejército sublevado hace difícil la supervivencia. Únicamente los niños y las niñas, a pesar de la tragedia, parecen adaptarse a tan dramáticas circunstancias. Un niño sobrevive entre juegos y edificios en ruina.
