Butterflies At Night - Paperback

by Ella B. Grayson (Author)

Butterflies At Night is a deftly woven, character-driven novel exploring self-reflection and personal growth, with a lingering mystery and a tender romance at its heart.

Escaping a life of emotional abuse is the hardest thing Ericka will ever do - and it means finding someone she lost long ago: herself. She has no idea how much her life is about to change.

After years of emotional abuse, she finally breaks free from the grip of her controlling partner, but at a heart-wrenching cost. She seeks refuge in a family home in Vermont, but discovers that the house, and the dangerous terrain in the woods nearby, have a dark history and unsettling secrets that seem to be reaching into the present in odd ways.

As Ericka unravels these hidden layers, she's caught off guard by her undeniable connection with Neil, who is youthful and almost free-spirited; and he has an unexpected impact on her life, in more ways than one.
When she finds a part-time job, a seemingly aloof man named Andrew enters her life, but their relationship gets off to a rocky start. Around him, she feels like she is untangling a complicated mess of family dynamics at a time when she can barely grasp her own problems.

Ericka flees to Vermont because it's her only option; but what she finds is something far more profound: the resilience and strength she forgot she had-and the beginning of a life she never dared imagine.
