I'll warn you up front, this is not a book with a happy ending. It is a good book, though. At first it's a little difficult to keep track of which sister she's talking about and to get the feel for the personalities of each, but overall I think she does a really good job bringing each one to life. The story is loosely based on historical fact about a family of women in the Dominican Republic under the reign of the dictator, Trujillo. I won't say more so as not to give too much away.

It somehow seems fitting that a book about "butterflies" should fly free into the world. I hope it finds many good places to land.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

I'll be taking several books and magazines to the coffee shop in an hour or so to drop off on some random table in the back.
