Butterfly is a bittersweet story of love, healing and forgiveness. It depicts how love can be found in the most unusual places and when you least expect it. It’s a reminder that at times things may look hopeless, but as long as we hold on to our faith and never lose hope our circumstances will improve.
The focus of the story is on Evie Reynolds, a young girl who fancies herself in love and believes her feelings were reciprocated. It was easy to relate to her in this regard. Most of us at some time in our lives went through that phase. Evie would learn that she was alone in her feelings when her then boyfriend framed her for a crime she did not commit. The only thing she was guilty of was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was sent to prison as a result. While there she suffered greatly and had basically given up until an unexpected miracle gave her a reason to live and to turn her life around.
Evie is the type of heroine that will endear herself into the reader’s heart. She is strong, resilient and feisty. She was not willing to allow her time in prison to break her spirit.
I like the writing style. It provided great insight into the character’s emotions. It made it easy to see everything through their eyes. I felt all their emotions. I laughed and cried with them.
I was glad to see Evie grow from a defiant adolescent to a mature young woman who is able to deal with the issues in her life and face her enemies head on. She evolved from a pupa to a beautiful butterfly.
This is a beautifully written story that will be difficult to forget anytime soon. I highly recommend that you get yourself a copy and read it.
