Butterfly Sister

Review

"A dark mystery that also works on your heart, The Butterfly Sister is a beguiling, terrifying story and Amy Gail Hansen a true find." —Jacquelyn Mitchard, #1 New York Times–bestselling author

Plot Summary

Ten months after dropping out of all-girl Tarble College, Ruby Rousseau is still haunted by the memories of her senior year, a time marred by an affair with her English professor and a deep depression that caused her to question her sanity.

When a mysterious suitcase arrives bearing Ruby's name and address, she tries to return it to its rightful owner, Beth—a dormmate at Tarble—only to learn that Beth disappeared two days earlier.

With clues found in the luggage, including a tattered copy of Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own, which Ruby believes instigated her madness, she sets out to uncover the truth.
