One star studded night, five yr old Lili witnesses her mo ther, Roxanna the Angel sprout wings and vanish into the sky undisturbed the rules of gravity. Roxanna leaves no farewll, no word of explanation, no trace of existance. Lili's subsequent search for her mother spurred by the tireless effors of her aunt Miriam the Moon is at the heart of the tale that follows Roxanna, born as a bad luck child in the harsh Jewish ghetto of Tehran, through the opulent world of Iran's aristocracy to the whorehouses of Turkey and beyond to present day LA.
