Where Butterflies Wander by Suzanne Redfearn, Suzanne Redfearn

5.0

She sat on the edge of the bank, letting the cool river water rush past her feet. She sunk her fingers into the dirt and let the earth ground her. Birds chirped in the branches above, while a soft wind blew and whispered through the long grasses beside her. Time stood still right here in this moment, granting her some peace and a moment to let the trouble of life disappear.

Where Butterflies Wander is a contemporary fiction following a family struggling with grief as they move to a new place to try and reset their lives and move forward.

This book… simply put… amazing. Told through multiple POVs of a struggling family after the loss of a child/sibling and a woman who enters their lives and stirs things up, also struggling with her own losses. This was emotional and heart-breaking, yet heart-warming and a true hug at the same time. I loved watching these characters grow, learn, deal with their grief, transform into who they were meant to be… it was just such a wonderful read. Suzanne Redfearn’s stories always capture my heart and once again she’s penned another beautiful book.

I highly recommend this one, especially if you’re a fan of contemporary stories dealing with growth, working through grief, and the power of family.
