This is where the Garden comes into play. The girls found out that Inara had no place of residency, and offered her a place to live. We find out here that Inara wasn’t her birth name, rather the identity that she assumed.Īt said restaurant, she met a group of girls who all lived together. She was living completely on her own and trying to find her place in the world at 15 years old, so hearing more about the struggle would have built Inara’s personality before her capturing a lot more.įrom what she narrated, we know that she had gotten a fake ID and had started working at a restaurant. I would have liked to hear more about her teenage years. She had a traumatizing childhood and faced serious neglect from her parents. Inara then starts from the beginning with her childhood and events leading up to this point. As they gather more information on the girls, readers learn that Maya is actually Inara. Maya is one out of a few girls who were saved from this fire. It added a comical relief to a frightening topic. I enjoyed reading Vic and Eddison bicker in between questions. The book starts with two FBI agents, Vic and Eddison, interviewing Maya, one of the girls who was saved from the burning building. While the title sounds seemingly innocent, the book surprises you with page turning twists that show the acts that the Gardener commits to his captives. The Butterfly Garden written by Dot Hutchison follows the gut-wrenching story of a teen girl who is trapped in a man’s fantasy garden.
