 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

The Life We Almost Had is about first love and a second chance in a small, Missouri town—inspired by the town I grew up in! AND main character Berlin Elliot has a pretty cool job, too, but I can’t say what it is! Find Iva & Berlin’s story and all my books on Amazon! 💛

I hope you have a chance to pick up Iva and Berlin’s story, if you haven’t already. And more importantly, I hope you enjoy!
You can find THE LIFE WE ALMOST HAD here: Amazon e-book ➟ https://goo.gl/WpVU6U Amazon paperback ➟ https://goo.gl/3jDBA5  In case you haven't heard, The Life We Almost Had will be here in a little more than two months! BUT you can pre-order the e-book now on Amazon and Barnes&Noble and have it delivered directly to your reading device Sept. 19! I'm really excited about this one, and there are lot of reasons for that, but here are three! One: This story shows glimpses into the past, so you not only get to see snapshots of just how these two fell in love, but you also get to grow up with these characters. They're happy. They're sad. They're embarrassed of their parents. They're embarrassed of themselves. They make the right decisions. They make the wrong decisions. But through it all, they love. I look into his brown eyes, and I run my fingers through his long hair. He doesn’t fit in here; he never has. He doesn’t know anything about farming or small-town norms. He doesn’t know you don’t wear black everywhere you go. ...I think I love that about him best. “What the hell are you doing here?” Daddy says. His voice is stern and kind of scary. “Um, I was just returning the hammer, sir,” Berlin says, eyeing the hammer on the hall desk. Daddy glances at the desk in the hall. “Then how come the hammer is there, and you’re upstairs? Two: These characters grow up in a little ghost town that has a post office and a corner store and a restaurant called Victor's...and that's about it. But they make the most of it, and I especially love their little town because it reminds me of a place that's near and dear to my own heart. And life was quiet...until the day that he showed up. ...From that day and for a while after that, you couldn’t hear the sound of the water dripping in the kitchen sink or the branches scraping across the tin roof above my room anymore. Those sounds were all drowned out by the crack of Clearly Canadian caps hitting the concrete and his laugh and the high-pitched hum of an engine, as his dirt bike made little circles in the bottom land. Three: Lastly, I can't really promise you anything with this story. But I can tell you that where there is heartbreak, there's also a second chance. Now, what these two choose to do with that second chance AND just how fair life chooses to be with them, you'll have to see. But through it all, their journey is all their own, and it's one I'm hoping you'll be glad you took. I cried for me. I cried for the little girl and the little boy who loved with everything they had in a little town that nobody cared about but them. I cried because I felt as if no one else would cry for them. ♥Laura   I'm SO EXCITED to announce that my next book will be here September 19! I CANNOT wait for you to read The Life We Almost Had! I really don't have favorites when it comes to characters, but if I did, these guys would be up there! They and the little town of Sweet Home, Missouri, stole my heart. I don’t want to say too much, in fear that I’ll give too much away. But I will say that The Life We Almost Had means a lot to me. It’s about two of my favorite things: young, wild love—the kind that will remind you what it's like to be fifteen again, and of course, second chances. The book starts out in a little, ghost town that reminds me a lot of a place that is very real to me. And along with that, this might just be the most real story I’ve ever written. So, I do hope you enjoy their journey. And you don't have to wait until September to secure your copy, either! The pre-order for the e-book is up on Amazon right now! And it's at a special price! So, hurry over there to get yours! And without further ado, here's the back cover summary: Back before everyone left the little town of Sweet Home to the ghosts, she was the girl next door. And he was the boy, who could never get on her father’s good side. But none of that mattered. The only thing that mattered was that her heart had picked him. But that was years ago. And now, Berlin’s sister is praying for someone to show up to take her brother’s mind off the girl from his past. And surely enough, that someone does. But will this girl be able to cut the chains of his first love or will she just make him fall harder for that little girl he left behind in Sweet Home, Missouri? One week is all they have. ♥Laura  |
