This is a true story that reads like a psychological thriller. The story is set in Manhattan, Seattle, and New Orleans.

Losing the Light draws from Turner Browne's life in the demanding world of visual art and exhibition. His haunting story traces his descent into depression and artistic collapse as he becomes entangled in a love affair with another photographer—her career rising as his unravels—that spirals into dependence and violence.

At once a warning and a reckoning, this gripping memoir offers an unflinching look at how ambition, vulnerability, and unaddressed mental illness can blur together—and how clarity can slowly return, allowing healing to begin.
