Butterfly Girl, Rene Denfeld

Naomi is the child finder but there’s one child she hasn’t found, her sister. Naomi's guilt at leaving her behind on the night she managed to escape their prison by running barefoot into the night won’t be assuaged until she finds her younger sibling.

The search takes her and Jerome to Portland where homeless children, runaways like Celia, walk the streets, bellies empty, easy prey for a killer with an eye for young girls. Naomi agrees to help hunt the killer alongside her personal search. Is she too distracted to realize that Celia could be next on the killer’s list.
