The Butterfly House by Marcia Preston

A good solid mystery:
As a child, Bobbie Lee found refuge from her lonely life at her best friend's house. Rockhaven was a place of magic.  A place where butterflies were born.  A place that her best friend Cincy Jaines and Cincy's mother, Lenora, lived. It was at Rockhaven that Bobbie could go to escape her mother's alcoholism; where she could be mothered and find solace with her friend.  It was her time at Rockhaven that allowed Bobbie to get through her childhood, her teenage years somewhat unharmed. Eventually, however, things become tangled, and Rockhaven becomes a place of tragedy.  Ten years later, after battling her way back from insanity, Bobbie is forced to relive a night she's tried hard to bury.  She is forced to confront the memories she has tried to avoid. For Bobbie, these confrontations may mean her complete destruction or possibly the beginning of her total healing.

I really really liked this book. It was an easy, quick read.  A little sappy but who can't use a little sap every now and then.  Read it!
