Day Three

Bold, scandalous, Pulitzer Prize-winning combat photographer Brenna Rease has spent the past thirty months of her life imbedded in a war zone. She has witnessed enough atrocity to push her to the brink of madness, and she knows she has to get out. But when EBS executive Daniel Ellsworth offers her the chance to shoot a documentary with him about the besieged Balkan city she has come to love, she cant resist one last assignment. Even if it means working with a man who finds her personal reputation repugnant. Three hellish days under fire shatter everything they think they know about power, morality, themselves, and each other. Convinced that escaping alive is impossiblethey never imagine what it will take to survive once they get home. Day Three sweeps the reader from the ravaged streets of a Balkan war zone to the privileged ones of Washington, D.C., examining what it takes to survive physically, morally, and psychologically. Read it for the powerful love story at its center. Read it to challenge what you think you know about the human capacity for violence. Read it to learn what it is to be broken and put yourself back together again. Heckread it for the happy ending. I hope no editor/agent ever gets hold of this and demands that you soften it up. It's vivid, strong, and powerfully imaginedjust as good fiction should be, Kathryn Johnson adds. This original 195,000 word novelrichly researched, carefully crafted, professionally edited, and reviewed by subject matter expertsembodies the best promise of the new movement in independent publishing.
