“The Butterfly's Dance” is truly one of those gripping, realistic romances that will simply make you feel good to the core.

Kayla Jennings was in an automobile accident at age 12. Losing her will to survive, only her parents could make her carry on with life, finally coming to grips with what she was handed as her deal in life. As she grew older she came to realize that she was a woman in a wheelchair and realistically she would never be able to have a "normal" life like any woman that wasn't wheelchair bound, including love and romance. But that was before she met Jordan, the uncle of a teenage client she's working with.

Taking on a new attitude to delve into helping others in her condition, she becomes a counselor, but when she meets Jordan, her life turns upside down as she somehow allows her heart to take over her brain and falls deeply in love. But can that love survive the trials and tribulations of a woman that's wheelchair bound? How will his friends, family and business acquaintances take her presence? Will she be a burden? Or will they both realize they cannot live without each other?

As she battles her own desires and wishes, resulting in a torn heart and whirling mind she realizes that perhaps love can be found from the seat of a wheelchair. But then what happens when she's given the opportunity to get rid of the wheelchair? Will the fact that Jordan fell in love as much with her disability and honesty as he did her personality mean that she could lose him? Will he understand if she makes the decision to become whole again or is she already "whole" with him at her side?

This is a touching, dramatic story of love that goes against the odds and has you cheering in their corner to keep afloat despite all of the obstacles they face. “The Butterfly’s Dance” is written with such an intimate inside look at their lives, you quickly become one with the characters and feel their pains and triumphs. Christyna Hunter’s excellent writing style, with a touching story, will pierce your heart.
