A vivid portrayal of how love and loss mold us into the people we become. The ending will ripple in your mind for weeks.

Pictures of the Sky follows a cast of characters who are constantly seduced by what is out of reach. Susan and Michael meet as silhouettes beside a fire and struggle for years to disconnect from each other's lives. Leah devotes her youth to the pursuit of love, but she spends most of her twenties fighting to revive her disintegrating marriage. When Leah returns home, Susan is shocked by the depth of her friend's sorrow. Derrick journeys from Pittsburgh to Nicaragua and then to Louisiana. Along the way, he's frustrated by his inability to bend his emotions toward what he would like them to be. Their four stories unfold as a kaleidoscope, moving forward and backward at once. A portrait of a kinetic generation. In the end, this is a novel about learning how to love.
