The Photographer
Mary Dixie CarterJoanneLeedomAckermanThe Photographer by @MaryDixieCarter, a haunting story & excellent narration by the author who read the book on audio. I moved between words on the page & narration of the audio. The novel speaks to where truth lies in a plastic, shifting world of avatars & images. #fridayreads https://t.co/exdTcAj5yM
