Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A moving story of a young girl's struggle with love, loss, family, and magic from author Kimberley Griffiths Little.
Twelve-year-old Tara Doucet is coping with the death of her beloved grandmother and her mother's subsequent abandonment. When mysterious butterflies begin to arrive shortly after Grammy Claire's funeral, and a strange butler shows up to take Tara and her sister to Grammy Claire's house, Tara just knows Grammy Claire has left her a final mystery to solve. A stack of keys, notes from the beyond, and an ominous secret allow Tara to come to terms with her grandmother's death, the complexities of her family, and the powers of love and redemption.
Tara Doucet is grieving for her grandmother, and her family is falling apart around her, but it seems like her grandmother has preplanned an elaborate itinerary for her to follow which will lead her and her sister Riley from Louisiana to a South Pacific island and into danger--and everywhere she turns butterflies follow.
