Jacket Copy:
Kara never met her birth mother. Abandoned as an infant, she was taken in by an elderly American woman living in China. Now eleven, Kara spends most of her time in their apartment, wondering why she and Mama cannot leave the city of Tianjin and go live with Daddy in Montana. Mama tells Kara to be content with what she has … but what if Kara secretly wants more?
Told in lyrical, moving verse, Kara’s story is one of a girl learning to trust her own voice, discovering that love and family are limitless, and finding the wings she needs to reach new heights.

Such an exciting event, and I love Amy's cover! Can't wait to read the final version of RED BUTTERFLY. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous cover. Congrats to Amy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cover! It sounds really interesting. I'm intrigued just by the fact it's set in China and it's written by someone who lived there.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting more into MG as my kids get older and move into that reading category. Love the sound of this book and the cover is beautiful. Congratulations Amy! I'll be on the lookout for this one when it comes out.
