When Butterflies Cry

Nov 2014—Something more than chance has brought a mysterious, battered orphan child to a West Virginia family ripped apart by jealousy, greed and clan hatred. On the foggy morning when the dam explodes, nothing less than destiny will be fulfilled by the sacrifice of a little girl who was never really there to begin with. Grayson Addington comes home to Saddler Hollow, West Virginia, from Vietnam a broken man, ravaged by post traumatic stress syndrome, a chaplain who left his faith in the jungle mud with his massacred unit. His wife, Piper, doesn’t know her husband anymore. In his absence, she turned to his brother Carter for support. Now, she must choose between them—and Carter will stop at nothing to have her. And into this family comes a mysterious little girl. Maggie, a battered child with amnesia, shows up on the Addington's front porch and instantly bonds to Sadie, Piper and Grayson’s cripplingly shy toddler. When Maggie runs away and takes Sadie with her, the warring brothers must team up to search for them. The real horror begins when they find the girls. Grayson's precious Sadie is trapped in the rocks out of his reach. All he can do is stand there and watch her drown ... unless the child called Maggie is much more than she seems.
