I just didn't care for this book. The story flowed decent enough but the subject matter may leave a bad taste in your mouth. If it's any consolation, I did enjoy learning more about a butterfly life cycle... Overall this book left me more angry at the end than anything else.

Bobbie, Cincy, and Lenora make up their own, disfunctional but loving family. Lenora is a scientist who is thrilled to share her love of butterflies with Bobbie, her daughters best friend. However, this attention causes a rift between the friends, leaving one of the group in prison.

This story is a well written journey of healing done with past/present reflection that finally leads to a surprising end. I read it straight through, just couldn't quite put it down.
