It's called "Sparks and Ashes," maybe.

Or "Flicker," but that's too close to the photo-sharing site, isn't it?

One consequence of working on this novel for six months (even with absolutely no sign of forward progress!) is that I'm developing a very good sense of this character, and I just really like her. Like many of my heroines, she thinks that she knows what all her problems are and she can keep them under control as long as she doesn't tell anyone about them or ask anyone for help.

That trick never works.
