WELCOME
Books have always been my friends, my refuge, and my transport to other worlds. Books can also transform us. As my character Grace learns in my newest novel, Grace and the Butterfly Effect, people can change like butterflies do. The small flutter of a butterfly’s wing can alter the weather a world away. A few words on a page can be an inspiration.
Every time Grace tries to leap, she falls. She refuses to quit. While practicing for her ballet recital, she crashes through a fence and crushes some milkweed plants — the only place the monarch butterfly will lay her eggs. After Grace rescues a broken plant, she finds three eggs and decides to help these future butterflies grow. How hard could that be? Very — if you have teasing brothers, doubting friends, humiliating dance rehearsals, and can’t find milkweed. But monarchs need more than milkweed, they need safe habitats.
Can Grace persuade her friends and family to help the monarchs? Can she start a Butterfly Effect, so the monarchs — and Grace — can become who they were meant to be?
