A National Book Award Finalist offers an intense portrait of an abusive relationship.Johanna is steadfast, patient, reliable; the go-to girl, the one everyone can count on. But always being there for others can't give Johanna everything she needs--it can't give her Reeve Hartt.Reeve is fierce, beautiful, wounded, elusive; a flame that draws Johanna's fluttering moth.
