The Butterfly Girl weaves a tale of deep emotions and dark realities. Naomi Cottle, a skilled investigator of missing children, is haunted by the one case she cannot solve: the disappearance of her own sister. Plagued by fragmented memories of a strawberry field and her harrowing escape, she has dedicated herself to others' lost loved ones rather than face the absence of her sibling. Celia, a young street-dweller, clings to the beauty of butterflies that whisper of hope amidst the rampant dangers of her life in Portland, Oregon, where innocence is a currency spent too freely. Their paths cross when Naomi's quest and Celia's survival entwine, leading both to confront questions of what it means to be lost—and found—in a world indifferent to forgotten children. Together, they must navigate the treacherous currents of fear and connection, while a sinister presence watches, waiting to clip their fragile wings. Can they reclaim their stolen pasts, or will answers come too late?
