Teenage photographer Zara has a strained relationship with her mother, Nadja, a refugee from the Bosnian War. Zara doesn't understand her mother's trauma until a bombing at a Rhode Island farmer's market leaves Zara badly injured and traumatized and her mother in a coma. This deeply sad and affecting mother-daughter story shifts between Nadja's 1990s experiences and Zara's present-day path to healing and understanding. Bib., glos.
