Learning to love is like learning to fly . . .

Lila finds solace in her sheltered world by raising butterflies and surrounding herself with their gentle beauty. They’re all she needs—until a motorcycle-riding stranger roars up her driveway, invading her safe haven, throwing her life off-kilter, and forcing her to question everything. What exactly is he after, and what is he not telling her?

In one intense night of desperation and revelation, Lila must confront her darkest fears—and hopefully discover that with faith and courage, shattered dreams can be restored, damaged hearts can love again, and broken wings can heal . . . maybe even fly.

“As a Christian writer, I keep in mind there was a Good Friday with intense pain and suffering before the glory of Easter Sunday.”

“A great thing about tapping the spiritual aspects is that it offers an additional layer of story opportunities that secular fiction misses.”
