"Solitary, nostalgic Liz Crane returns to her family's now-deserted farmhouse--once the setting for countless happy summers spent on the northern shore of Lake Erie--to study the migratory habits of the Monarch butterfly. Encompassing all the colorful stories and blarney of successful Irish immigrants who have made the most of their relocation to North America, the Cranes' rich family history is now circumscribed by sadness. Liz's beloved cousin Amanda, a gifted military strategist, has been killed in Afghanistan, a loss that had been foreshadowed many years in the past by the disappearance of Amanda's charismatic father"--Dust jacket flap.

I didn't end up loving it but it was one of those books where I was like I'd still give this author a go because maybe overall the plot ended up being a bit forgettable but the writing itself was really strong and there's still like scenes I completely remember from that one.
