Chasing Petalouthes by Effie Kammenou

The Gift Saga concludes, with the next generation coming into the forefront of the story during their tumultuous years between adolescence and adulthood.Evvie has lived through more tragedy than a young girl should endure, having lost both her father and a most beloved grandmother at a young age. Her rebellious ways are her only defense to mask the ever-present pain permanently lodged in her heart. Closing herself off emotionally, Evvie vows to never let anyone burrow deep in her heart. But will her determination to keep everyone out see her lose the only person who could heal her broken soul?Over-achieving, focused, talented. Determined to succeed. Those are the traits Stella envies in her siblings and cousins. Her insecurities and lack of confidence stunt her ability to see her own worth. When a slightly older, handsome young man claims her as his own, Stella believes she has finally found who she has been looking for-someone to love her enough to mold her into the best version of herself. But has she fallen in love too quickly for a man she barely knows anything about?Chasing Petalouthes (Chasing Butterflies) is the coming of age story of two flawed, young women who push their way out from the confines of the cocoons they'd built around themselves and discover how to soar.

Effie Kammenou is a believer that it is never too late to chase your dreams, follow your heart or change your career. She is proof of that. At one time, long ago, she'd thought that, by her age, she would have had an Oscar in her hand after a successful career as an actor. Instead, she worked in the optical field for 40 years and is the proud mother of two accomplished young women. Her debut novel, Evanthia's Gift, is a women's fiction multigenerational love story and family saga, influenced by her Greek heritage, and the many real life accounts that have been passed down. She continues to pick her father's brain for stories of his family's life in Lesvos, Greece, and their journey to America. Her interview with him was published in a nationally circulated magazine. Evanthia's Gift: Book One in The Gift Saga was a 2016 award finalist in the Readers Favorite Awards in the Women's Fiction category. Waiting for Aegina: Book Two in The Gift Saga is Kammenou's latest release. Effie Kammenou is a first generation Greek-American who lives on Long Island with her husband and two daughters. When she's not writing, or posting recipes on her food blog, cheffieskitchen.wordpress.com, you can find her cooking for her family and friends. As an avid cook and baker, a skill she learned from watching her Athenian mother, she incorporated traditional Greek family recipes throughout the books. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Theater Arts from Hofstra University.
