Synopsis:

“When emerging from its cocoon, a butterfly needs the struggle to push the fluid from its body into its wings. So essentially, without the struggle, it never flies.”

About to land her biggest deal yet, Leigh Henderson is on her game. Nothing can get in her way. Except Rebecca Mayer, who’d sashayed in a few weeks ago with a former client list that would fill the entire hallway to Leigh’s office. When her boss unexpectedly offers the deal to Rebecca and tells Leigh he’s letting her go, Leigh finds herself without a job.

But that’s the least of her worries.

Her mother has some news that will change everything. She’s asked Leigh and her sister Meredith to meet her at the family cabin on Old Hickory Lake. Not only has Leigh been unable to track down her sister for years, but going back to the cabin would mean dealing with the loss of her beloved grandmother and also chance running into her old flame Colton Harris, the one love she’s never been able to completely let go of.

Will confronting her grief, speaking to her estranged sister, and forcing herself to face the love she’d left behind help Leigh to learn who she really is?

What is a favorite compliment you have received on your writing? 
People have told me that reading my books is like watching a movie--they can see it all happening. I love that. :)

What is something you learned from writing your previous novels that you applied to Butterfly Sisters? 

I think that I learned just to take it slowly and really spend time in the scenes.

If Butterfly Sisters were made into a movie, who would you cast in the lead roles? 

This is so hard! I see these characters in my mind as actual people so there isn't anyone like them, but if I had to choose, I'd say Meredith could be played by Sienna Miller and Keri Russell could be Leigh.

What TV series are you currently binge watching?

After Life

What is something you learned about yourself during the pandemic? 

I learned that I'm stronger than I think I am.

What have been the biggest rewards and challenges with starting a publishing company? 

The biggest reward has been seeing the success thus far. The biggest challenges are just learning literally everything and building our program and processes from the ground up.
