Life in Pacific Grove: Book 2 makes deeper connections to our community through special essays by local authors, in areas of their own interests—plus personal stories.With these stories, the “Butterfly Effect” continues to transform us, and as the monarchs make part of their transformation in our Butterfly Sanctuary, and as we write and share our stories with each other, we all become something more beautiful than before.I hope you enjoy what we have put together—for you and for the generations to come. I’m a firm believer in the power of story to change our lives, the lives of people around us, and those of future generations.
