Waiting for Butterflies by Karen Sargent is a deeply touching story of the strength of family and a mother’s love that knows no boundaries.
Ms. Sargent is truly talented in her bringing her characters to life and the story is so well written that I didn’t want to put it down. In a creative and fluid way, she touches several tough topics including adultery, death, cutting and the dangers of technology.
I think one of the best parts of the story development was the teenage daughter, Rachel. Her struggle to deal with her heartbreak is told in such a powerful way. More importantly, it’s done with realism.
Waiting for Butterflies seriously blew me away. It’s a must read and absolutely gets five out of five stars.
