Goodbye, Butterfly
On Oct. 19, 1991, 12-year-old Brenda Michelle Keller went for a bike ride, just as she did most days, in tiny Dover, Kansas. She never returned, becoming the victim of one of the worst crimes in state history. “Goodbye, Butterfly” is already a bestseller, and the first print sold out. The second print of the book is now available at Indie Pubs!
