Federica Campione adores her father. No matter that Ramon spends months away from their home in Chile; as soon as he's back, his daughter only has eyes for him. When he gives her a magical box from Peru she believes he will always be there for her. Devastated when her parents' marriage falls apart, Federica is forced to set up home in Cornwall with her mother - the butterfly box is the only part of her beloved father she can take with her to sustain her during painful times. Embraced by the eccentric Appleby family, she falls for their son Sam, who barely notices her until it is too late. As she grows to womanhood, Federica attempts to recapture that long-forgotten sense of security in the arms of the debonair Torquil Jensen. From the sanctuary of a seemingly perfect marriage, she embarks on a painful journey of self-discovery. It takes Federica years of heartbreak to learn the true lesson of the butterfly box.
