The Butterfly House

As a child, Bobbie Lee found refuge from her lonely life at her best friend’s house. Rockhaven was a place of magic that clung to a wooded hill above the Columbia River. Her friend’s mother, Lenora, was a lepidopterist, and their glass-walled sun porch harbored a kaleidoscope of bright wings. Here, with Cincy and Lenora, Bobbie found love and the family she longed for. Their friendship was her compass through the trials of adolescence. But when the tangled intimacies between them began to unravel, Rockhaven became a place of unspeakable tragedy.
