Ashley Bisman was in a high school history class the morning of September 11th when students whispered of planes crashing, fire, and terrorists. 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.

CHASING BUTTERFLIES 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 label 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?

Follow Ashley on her heart wrenching journey. The unbreakable bond between Ashley and her father beautifully weaves its way through the fabric of her life, proving that the greatest love stories can be found between a father and his daughter.

CHASING BUTTERFLIES is available to download now exclusively on Amazon Kindle and in paperback version on Amazon.
