Summary:
"In 2010, journalist Mac McClelland left Haiti after covering the devastation of the earthquake. Back home, she is plagued by waking terrors, brutal fantasies, and crippling emotional breakdowns. It becomes clear that she is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, triggered by her trip and seemingly exacerbated by her experiences in the other charged places she'd reported from. The bewilderment about this sudden loss of self-control is magnified by her feelings for Nico, a French soldier she met in Haiti, who despite their brief connection seems to have found a place in her confused heart. McClelland investigates the damage in her own mind and takes steps to restore her broken psyche, probing the depths of her illness, and delving into the latest research on PTSD. She discovers that those in close proximity to post trauma sufferers can themselves develop the same symptoms. Mac McClelland is the author of 'For us surrender is out of the question: a story from Burma's never-ending war.'
