 |
| Waving Goodbye is the story of Lily Blue, a 17-year-old photographer who loses her father in a mountain climbing accident, and must spend her 17th year with the mother who abandoned her. It's also a story of loss, grief, change, making art, wishing things were different, being stalled, finding love, not turning into your mother, and those irrevocable moments after which nothing is ever the same. |

| "Jamie Pachino's new work is a beautifully written portrait of loss, rage, change, and the terror -- and joy -- of trusting another person in the wake of personal cataclysm... Pachino writes from the gut and heart in a way that's utterly refreshing...an intriguing work that deserves to be heard." |
