The Butterfly House is one of those books that stays with you long after you have finish reading it. The characters are so well developed; I felt as though I knew them, and even missed being a part of their lives when the story was over. Marcia Preston did a wonderful job of weaving the lives of 4 women together, and shows how the choices they make have a profound effect on their relationships, and their future. I highly recommend this book.
