11 year old Tia Brooks is your ordinary good girl. She listens to her parents, doesn’t fight with other kids, and does well in school. In the summer of 1979 a new girl named Kimberly Greene arrives in her small southern NJ neighborhood and Tia’s world begins to change. Kimberly is everything that Tia isn’t: outgoing, athletic, charming, blond and beautiful. As Tia’s friendship with Kimberly blooms, she soon finds herself stretching the boundaries of her comfort zone and learning new and interesting ways of looking at the world. Kimberly not only awakens Tia’s sense of adventure, but encourages her curiosity and creativity. But it’s not until one rainy summer afternoon in playing dolls that Tia’s entire world changes forever.

Enjoyable and entertaining!,
This review is from: Butterfly (Paperback)
Butterfly is very well written and takes you on a wonderful journey into young womanhood. It brought back many memories for me from a time long ago. I purchased a copy for my neices and they are also enjoying it. They hope that another is published soon!

"Butterfly" is a must-read,
By Sharon Leib (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Butterfly (Paperback)
From the moment I began reading this book, I was hooked. There's nothing like a good coming-of-age story, and "Butterfly" was everything I hoped it would be. I could relate to many elements of this novel--I too grew up in NJ in a similar time period. This novel, however, transcends time and place. The themes in this novel are universal--you don't have to have grown up in NJ in the 70's to be able to enjoy it as much as I did.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Butterfly is a beautifully wriiten book,
This review is from: Butterfly (Paperback)
This book captured my heart and my thoughts as I read the book in its entirety in one sitting. I felt like I was right there with Tia through all her experiences in life feeling what she was feeling. I would tell anyone to read this book, I know I couldn't put it down. CandiceS
