The result: a mirror held up to Susie – the ethereal presence – whose form beguiles and evades the lens. There are many characters within and many Susies to record.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn her own words, the role Susie feels most true to is that of mother, and this book is an extraordinary testament to its power.
