Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel of love, friendship, and self-reinvention: “I can’t remember the last time I was so enchanted . . . zany, surprising, full of twists and turns” (Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Circle and Something Blue). A translator of Icelandic, the unnamed young woman who narrates Butterflies in November is perhaps more at home in the world of language than the actual world. After a day of being dumped—twice—and accidentally killing a goose, she yearns to escape from the chaos of her life. Instead, her best friend’s four-year-old deaf-mute son is unexpectedly left in her care. But when the boy chooses the winning numbers for a lottery ticket, the two set off from Reykjavik along Iceland’s Ring Road on a journey of discovery. Along the way, they encounter black sand beaches, cucumber farms, lava fields, flocks of sheep, an Estonian choir, a falconer, a hitchhiker, and both of her exes desperate for another chance. What begins as a spontaneous adventure will unexpectedly and profoundly change the way she views her past and charts her future. Longlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize.

Book excerpt: Kameleon (Kami) Beck prides herself on achieving her dreams at the age of twenty-four. Her attractive, loving husband, beautiful newborn baby, college degree, fulfilling career, and beautiful home in Atlanta, Georgia, are the pinnacle of the life she longed for. Life couldn't be better. But her world starts to crumble on Mother's Day-her first as a new mom-when she discovers that her seemingly perfect life is shrouded in secrets, lies, and deceit. Allowing herself to get bogged down in hatred and vengeance is just too easy. In the face of heartbreaking betrayal, she struggles with the thought of moving past the pain and starting anew. When a man from her past enters the scene, will he help or hurt her journey toward restoring harmony in her life? Do Butterflies Go to Heaven? is a touching story about a woman's anguish and her path to self-rediscovery, delving into hot-button issues such as bullying, abortion, divorce, and blended families. Women of all ages will find the main character relatable and inspirational-Kami's indomitable spirit as she navigates the challenges in her life elicits compassion and a sense of connection, keeping readers spellbound to the last page.
