About The Flight of a Butterfly
Lucy
Simpson just survived the worst day of her life. Rather than stick around to
deal with the fallout of losing her accounting job and the betrayal of her
longtime boyfriend, she makes a split-second decision to pull up roots and move
to Hawaii.
She
arrives with a suitcase, a reservation at a cheap hotel, and a whole lot of
hope. Relieved to be an ocean away from her overbearing father, Lucy creates a
list of experiences to help her explore what she really wants from life. Her
new friends from the singles ward become her cheerleaders and help her cross
items off the list one by one. As she does, she learns a little bit more about
herself, about life and about love. But when a family emergency calls her home,
will she be forced to choose between her old life and a new love?
My Book Review of The
Flight of a Butterfly
I
thoroughly enjoyed this story of self-discovery. Several things go really
wrong, but Lucy soon figures out her problems began when she followed the path
others had set up for her life which was not leading to her happiness. I
enjoyed reading how she developed a new plan for her life and began to work it
with the support of the friends she picked up along the way. The challenge came when a crisis called her
back home. Would she return to what she had before, and would her perspective
have changed?
I
enjoyed the characters. They felt real. Some of the attitudes were so true to
life all I could do was smile and shake my head.
This
story had a sweet romance ... more than one, actually ... and it was
interesting to read how it played out, especially with the quirks some of the
characters needed to resolve. This is a must-read.

About Rachel Ward
Rachel
grew up reading every book she could get her hands on and spending time with
her cat. At least, that was the report in every annual Christmas letter. The
humiliation was enough to spur her into action, and she began writing. And she
never stopped. Rachel studied English at Brigham Young University-Idaho and
then wrote and blogged in between the births of her six children. She currently
lives in West Jordan with her family, and while she no longer has a cat, she
still reads every book she can get her hands on.
