It is a three or four part story about Rachel who was born to unconventional parents, shaped by them and others, constantly transformed as she became an adult, career woman, lovers, marriages until she was drawn in a scam with dangerous men, and now must take charge to define her true self. Because of the diverse story lines, some readers may not enjoy part or parts of this multi-genre novel: the character studies, romances, the elaborate scam (along the plot line of the "Bre-X mining scandal") and the Hollywood action thriller towards the end. I liked all the components, even the romance parts. The ending hinted at a coming sequel as Rachel the butterfly had complete metamorphosis from a agoraphobic girl to a badass heroine.
