Being a teen in the '70s, I was instantly drawn to this fantastic book's description of "It's the psychedelic summer of 1966 .." Chrissy captures the spirit of that time with perfection. The pages took me back to days of my youth and I often found myself visiting music of that era in between reading breaks.
My journey from cover to cover was not only one of enjoying a great read, but being transported back to the days of yesteryear. I strongly recommend Chrissy's debut novel .

I had the pleasure of being a beta-reader for “Where The Butterflies Land” by Chrissy Dugas.
She has a strong and beautiful writing style that captures the reader and moves them along. Something expected of an established author, and so refreshing to discover in a debut work.
Her characters are compelling and well defined. The story reads like a memoir, or even a coming-of-age diary set in the 1960s. She captured the feeling of those times with brilliant imagery while presenting a powerful story about addiction and mental illness.
It seems to me her subject matter of choice is germane to the current times. Such a story is needed and relatable.
I really like the main character, Emmy. The author made her real and allowed her to grow and develop into a strong character. That growth seemed natural and organic. The other main character, Roger, comes across as a troubled young man with more burden than he could handle. I think many people are like that. The author did an excellent job showing how a talented person can be self-destructive. His desire to be his best made him his worst. All the secondary characters are powerful with wonderful voice providing the fuel needed to move the story logically along.
I think this is an excellent book, well written and well presented.
A five-star gem waiting to be enjoyed.

I just want to say this book deals with some heavy subjects but the author does such an amazing job balancing the heavy/light in the most superb way. This book is set in the 1960 with the whole peace and love era, moving to Philadelphia to become a nurse. The FMC is from a southern town(IYKYK) She meets Roger and have a whirlwind romance but it's not with out it's ups and and Roger has a secret. This book will have you all over the place you will laugh, smile, angry but best of all it gives us hope, hope and believing in yourself and your self worth. This book will take you for a ride and won't ever let you go. I look forward to reading more from this amazing author.
