Butterfly

11 year old Tia Brooks is your ordinary good girl. She listens to her parents, doesn’t fight with other kids, and does well in school. In the summer of 1979 a new girl named Kimberly Greene arrives in her small southern NJ neighborhood and Tia’s world begins to change. Kimberly is everything that Tia isn’t: outgoing, athletic, charming, blond and beautiful. As Tia’s friendship with Kimberly blooms, she soon finds herself stretching the boundaries of her comfort zone and learning new and interesting ways of looking at the world. Kimberly not only awakens Tia’s sense of adventure, but encourages her curiosity and creativity. But it’s not until one rainy summer afternoon in playing dolls that Tia’s entire world changes forever.

5"Butterfly" is a must-read  Aug 16, 2009
By Sharon Leib
From the moment I began reading this book, I was hooked. There's nothing like a good coming-of-age story, and "Butterfly" was everything I hoped it would be. I could relate to many elements of this novel--I too grew up in NJ in a similar time period. This novel, however, transcends time and place. The themes in this novel are universal--you don't have to have grown up in NJ in the 70's to be able to enjoy it as much as I did.

5Butterfly is a beautifully wriiten book  Mar 10, 2009
By Melissa A. Aponte
This book captured my heart and my thoughts as I read the book in its entirety in one sitting. I felt like I was right there with Tia through all her experiences in life feeling what she was feeling. I would tell anyone to read this book, I know I couldn't put it down. CandiceS

5Enjoyable and entertaining!  Mar 05, 2009
By M. Fenton
Butterfly is very well written and takes you on a wonderful journey into young womanhood. It brought back many memories for me from a time long ago. I purchased a copy for my neices and they are also enjoying it. They hope that another is published soon!

5A Young Girl's Journey of Transformation: from the caterpillar to the butterfly  Mar 03, 2009
By Tracey Ulshafer "Owner, One Yoga & Wellness Center llc"
"Butterfly" is my first self-published novel, inspired by events that happened growing up in Burlington, NJ. But you don't have to live in Burlington or even NJ to be able to relate to the title character, Tia Brooks, as she approaches the summer of her 11th year. Any young woman, daughter, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother (you get the idea) will be drawn back to that time in her own life when everything changed: or when she began her transformation from the caterpillar to the butterfly. I hope that you will enjoy reading "Butterfly" as much as I had writing it.

By Stephanie B. Napoles
I loved this book! I didn't want to put it down and when I had to, I couldn't wait to get back to reading it. I was able to really feel and understand what was going on in Tia's world. I would definitely recommend this book to all ages!
