Book Review- Butterfly Lane by  T.L. HaddixJohn Campbell and Zanny Franks have known each other since they were children.  Zanny was raised by her grandmother and her abusive father. This leaves scars and issues for her to overcome.  John is the oldest child of Owen and Sarah Campbell which carried its own responsibilities and hardships.He and Zanny grew up playing together and ended up entering into an adult relationship later. In fact they found themselves quickly married.  However, Zanny had many issues that needed to be worked through as a result of her childhood.  They slowly leaked into her married life. They eventually caused problems in their marriage.  John and Zanny stopped communicating.  Their marriage fell apart resulting in a separation.  They continued to love each other, but had to realize that in order for them to be together, they had to communicate openly.  They had to move beyond the issues they brought with them.  Their marriage could not survive if they didn’t.This is the second book in the series.  The first book, which I loved, was a sweet romance between Owen and Sarah.  This book is a continuation of the story but centers around the oldest son and his wife.  It is a more emotional story.  It broke my heart when both John and Zanny decide its better to separate.  The hurt they feel is almost tangible bordering on  almost too difficult to read.  The raw emotion was deep and flooding the storyline which made it difficult for me to wade through as the story progressed.  I give it a 3 out of 5.
