What are you reading on this snow day?! ❄️☕️
“HEART-BREAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL.” -Jenn and Books Most people call her Delilah. But he called her Daisy. He was seventeen and a guest in her family’s home the summer she turned fifteen. They weren’t supposed to fall in love. But Everton knew two things early on. One: He knew that she was a rule he was most likely going to break. And two: He knew that if anyone discovered their secret, he would be forced to leave. That day came in early August. And it came without warning—or a goodbye. Now, she’s twenty-one. He’s twenty-three. And she’s standing right in front of him—close enough to touch. But he can’t. It’s been six, long years, but one thing remains: she’s still forbidden. And this time, he can’t cross the line. Video credit: Yaroslav Shuraev Music credit: Giant Ember/Epidemic Sound

I had so much fun talking with Ryan Drinkard and Jigisha Patel on the Kirkwood Public Library podcast about my latest novel, my favorite Missouri places and my current reads! You can listen to the episode here. My interview starts at 12:30, but I recommend listening to the whole episode! ![]() Hey, guys! You can now get a selection of my books at Lizzy Lu Custom Wreaths in New Haven, Mo. AND they’re all signed! New Haven, Detmold, Berger, Hermann and Washington are all inspirations for most of the settings in my novels. So, if you’re in the area, make your way downtown to the place my very first story began! And while you’re there, check out the store and snag some other really cool local finds you can only get in New Haven, Mo.! Have you read Daisy and Everton's story, yet? As I work on my next project, I'm constantly reminded of The Dream and its illusions. I often weave dreams into my stories, but this particular title really highlights that theme. If you've read The Dream, what did you think? Was there a happily-ever-after for Daisy? For Everton?
Find The Dream on Amazon! ♥Laura Have you read all eight of my novels?! They all take place in small towns and involve characters that will probably remind you of the people you know or used to know! If you haven't read any OR all of them, I've put together a cheat sheet below to help you choose where to begin! They're in order of how I wrote them, starting in 2012, but you can read them in ANY order. And the best part, they're suitable for all ages! But if you get to the end, and you're still not quite sure where to start, I recommend The Life We Almost Had! Find them all on Amazon! Happy reading! ♥ Laura Butterfly Weeds

Inspired by my little, Midwestern hometown, I write about rain on tin roofs, gravel roads, old trucks with holes in the floorboards, small-town summer nights, and most importantly, love.
