Life, Love & Butterflies

About the Book

Life, Love & Butterflies is a novel by Ruby Hill James. A wretched husband and a betrayed heart were the rotting fruits of Katrina Marshall’s thirty-year marriage. Divorce offers her sweet freedom—a remedy to sweep away the ashes of burned vows. But when an unforeseen tragedy transitions her celebratory divorce plans to a funeral, Katrina’s life is quaked, and cracks can be seen in everything. Now a wreckage holds her hostage to rubble and a shattered reflection. Katrina is forced to box and shelve her heart. Yet when she meets handsome businessman Bradley Knowles, love may prove to be a force that can’t be buried. And like butterflies, hearts can’t stay cocooned.
