She bolted from her seat, sprinting through narrow school hallways leading to the main office. A television on the wall broadcast flames bursting from the skyscrapers, and her body went numb: her father worked on the 101st floor of Tower 1, and instinctively she knew she would never see him alive again. Jeff Goldflam was not found – the only surviving article discovered in the devastation was his credit card.\n\nCHASING BUTTERFLIES, among the first published memoirs of a child of 9\/11, is both Ashley's love letter to her father and the story of how a teen, and then a young adult, struggled to retain what had been her \"normal\" life prior to the attacks. It also recounts Ashley's fight to define herself, resisting society's inclination to simply profile her as a World Trade Center victim. As a grown woman, Ashley searches for success and love in the very city where her father was killed. Her quest to find a meaningful relationship - dating faux pas, cocktails, and girls nights out - leads her downtown to the very place she swore to never step foot in again. Would it still be possible to create a life and legacy that would make her father proud?\n\nA portion of the proceeds from reader purchases will be donated to Tuesday's Children, a charitable organization serving families forever changed by terrorism, military conflict or mass violence.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1735667668\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1735667668.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bisman, Ashley\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
