A Garden Full of Butterflies

By Lynn S. Combes

Following the death of her mother, ten-year-old Marissa's life changes forever. School goes from a place of learning to a place of terror, where everyone stares at her. Her friends don't understand, and she loses interest in even her favorite things. It is all because of loss-a loss no child should have to experience: the loss of her mother, her best friend, and her staunchest supporter. Mrs. Chancey, a kindly neighborhood woman, takes Marissa under her wing. For the first time in weeks, Marissa finds peace in Mrs. Chancey's backyard garden. Soon, Marissa opens up to her neighbor and shares her feelings of anger, guilt, and emptiness. Mrs. Chancey can relate. She too lost loved ones, many years ago, and Marissa begins to realize they have more in common than just a love for flowers.
