The Memory of Butterflies by Grace Greene
Prologue
My daughter, Ellen, will graduate from high school this year.
The closer we get to graduation, the harder the past is coming at me, kicking like a living creature and forcing its way back into my life. With it, it brings happy memories but also those that were gladly forgotten–including the memory of how I lost my Ellen seventeen years ago, then found her again.

Beautiful cover and excerpt. I love books that reveal the past.
Thanks for joining us again this week!
Sounds like a good read. It’s funny how an impending milestone event can trigger past memories.
I know, it’s happened to me a few times.
Yes, those hight school graduations make us think of so many things from their young lives. I like that cover too.
The cover is what caught my attention first, then the title.
Well that opener hosts a whole heap of questions – I’d like to keep reading.
I’m not that far into it, but so far it’s good.
Lost and found her? I’m definitely intrigued! Thanks for hosting š

I can’t wait to find out how she lost her, and then how she found her.
I agree that the cover is lovely. And, yes, I’d keep reading to find out what happened to Ellen and how things got put right.
I’m just now at the point in the book where you find out how she lost Ellen.
Pretty cover Vicki and a new title for me as well. I’d try more.
I love the cover too!
Intrigued by what could have happened to Ellen.
I’m about to find out!
Sounds like it might be a bit too sad for me. The cover is lovely though.
I hope it isn’t too sad, it hasn’t been so far.
Nice looking cover. Sometimes the cover wins me over for choosing a book to read or at least try it. This one does that.
I’ve been a cover snob since before I could read, and that’s how I choose most of the books I read.
Oh now I want to know what happened to Ellen! Great intro š
I just learned how she lost her, and now I want to know how she found her again.
I like the cover and the intro.
I do too Mystica. Thanks for stopping by.
This sounds beautiful and heartbreaking and just like a lovely read. Gorgeous first paragraph.
So far it is!
Oh, that opening really caught my attention. Sounds emotional, in a good way.
It sure has some interesting things in it. I’m really enjoying it.
I like the cover very much.
I do too š
