Fifteen-year-old Candy Chancellor must choose between holding onto yesterday’s pain or the hope of tomorrow. When her father is tragically killed weeks before her baby brother is expected, Candy is tossed from being a happy home schooled girl to the new girl at Christian school- with a seat in front of her new best enemy. Now that her grieving mother is unable to provide any true support, Candy relies on the help of two of her new friends from school, an old friend of the family, and tries to find God in the midst of it all.

Real estate tycoon Leslie Chancellor must make a choice between life or death and this time she doesn’t have her husband to help her. When Robert Chancellor is tragically killed, Leslie spirals into a deep darkness she can’t escape. Now that Candy is chasing her dreams of being a super star, Leslie must rely on an old family friend, a kind colleague, and new friend she didn’t plan on meeting.

This quote from the book broke my heart " Candy, I want you to know that the more time Tommy spends in jail won't bring back Dad or the baby." The reason it broke my heart is because that is the same thing I told my grandson (except the part about the baby) when he was upset about the time that the person who hit his daddy and killed him in a hit and run got. (It was 1 year).

As you can probably tell from the above quote "Butterflies" by Samantha Roman deals with subjects like death and grief, forgiveness and alcoholism and growth in Jesus. This book is intended for young adults I think adults could learn from it. Yes, it is fiction, but I am sure this story takes place in "Real Life" every day which is really sad.

Butterflies is a perfect title and if you get a copy and read it, you will think so also.

I am really looking forward to reading the next book in this set.

I received a compliment to copy from the author and celebrate Lit, and these opinions are my own.
