But, the second half of the book caught me unawares - I almost felt like I was reading another author's writing. The first half of the book is introspective with a somewhat Gothic feel. Hansen also did a great job handling the subject of depression and Ruby's emotions and feelings. I thought her thesis topic was especially interesting and had me thinking. Hansen does an excellent job weaving together and exploring Ruby's literary studies and her fascination with works by authors who struggled with mental illness, such as Plath and Woolf, and who ultimately committed suicide. But this old, jaded reader can see how a young woman might be swayed. He just came off as unctuous to me, not really a romantic catch. Such affairs are nothing new, but I had a hard time buying how much in love Ruby was with the professor Mark. We are witness to the beginning and end of the affair as the search continues in the present for Beth. The Butterfly Sister is written from a Ruby's point of view - both past and present and the narrative is switched between the two time periods. Ruby makes the decision to return to Tarble - to help look for her friend, to confront the past and reclaim her life. For Beth is missing and notes scribbled in the margins of a book found in the suitcase lead Ruby to believe that Beth was also having an affair with the same professor. But when a suitcase she had borrowed from Beth, one of the women on her dorm floor, is mistakenly returned to her at her mother's home, the past won't stay buried. A failed affair with one of her professors led to a suicide attempt and her decision to not return. Ruby Rousseau left Tarble College one credit short of her degree. But, if you want to use this feature, you can use the same URL for your artwork as the iTunes artwork you've already uploaded.The Butterfly Sister is Amy Gail Hansen's debut novel. Even if there's a suggestion to do that, there's really no issue with just using the 1400x1400 iTunes artwork.ĥ.) Just copy/paste the same URL for the iTunes artwork you uploaded.Ħ.) If you're properly editing your ID3 tags in a desktop application such as iTunes, you can ignore this. You really don't need to worry about resizing the image for RSS2. But do make sure you embed the image into your media files by editing their ID3 tags inside the iTunes desktop application or another ID3 tag editor.Ĥ.) For the RSS2 image, you can use the same exact image as iTunes. However, if you'd like images to go along with your WordPress posts, you'll still need to add those manually to your posts.ģ.) If you want to use the same image for every episode, leave the iTunes Episode Image box unchecked. You don't need to do anything else there.

For the RSS2 image I would just like to use the same cover art image as I use for iTunes. I'm confused as to what this means by saving artwork into media files.Ĥ. Do I just check the iTunes Episode Image box if I want to use the same image for all of my episodes?

Do I just upload the image to my wordpress blog and paste in the url to the image or do I upload the image to my blubrry hosting account?Ģ.
