Naomi’s job is locating missing children, but she cannot find her own sister, lost for 20 years. She has no picture, no name, just a memory of a strawberry field at night and running for her life.

Celia, a street child, has nothing but her hope in the butterflies that she imagines all around her on Portland, Oregon’s dangerous streets, where young girls are going missing.

As danger creeps closer, Naomi and Celia must ask themselves: can you still be lost even when you’ve been found? But will they find the answer too late?

Reviews

Equal parts chilling, tragic and hopeful, Rene Denfeld's new novel combines her haunting, lyrical prose with a page-turning and harrowing mystery, putting The Butterfly Girl into a league of its own. Fans of The Child Finder will devour this.
Mary Kubica, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Good Girl
Denfeld lived on the streets herself as a child, and some of the most vivid passages are based on her memories. In an atmosphere of dread, the novel leads to a climax that exposes decades of murder and abuse
