Author of WHITE OLEANDER and THE REVOLUTION OF MARINA M. PAINT I T BLACK follows the stoy of Josie Tyrell, art model, runaway, and denizen of LA's rock sceneas she finds a chance at real love with Michael Faraday, a Harvard dropout and son of a renowned pianist. But when she receives a call from the coroner, asking her to identify her lover's body, her bright dreams all turn to black. As Josie struggles to understand Michael's death and to hold onto the world they shared, she is both attracted to and repelled by his pianist mother, Meredith, who blames Josie for her son's torment. Soon the two women are drawn into a twisted relationship that reflects equal parts distrust and blind need. With the luxurious prose and fever pitch intensity that are her hallmarks, Janet Fitch weaves a spellbinding tale of love, betrayal, and the possibility of transcendence.

Synopsis
"Paint It Black" is a song by The Rolling Stones. The song was released as the first and only single from their fourth album Aftermath (1966). The song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, though Brian Jones contributed to the song's signature riff. Bill Wyman claims in his books that the song was a collective effort of the group, a 'Nanker-Phelge' one, but mistakenly credited to Jagger/Richards at the end. The single reached number one in both the U.S. and the U.K. charts in 1966.
