Chasing Ordinary

Chasing Ordinary tells the story of one chapter ending and another beginning, as well as second chances---at love, at finding yourself, and the importance of not closing doors but having the courage to step through them. Prissy Elrod is referred to as ‘The Butterfly Girl’ as she metaphorically portrays her incredible journey of transformation with semblance to the epic caterpillar to butterfly metamorphosis. Just when the caterpillar thought the world ended it became a butterfly. When a brain tumor stole her husband, it also stole her identity. She was faced with an unfamiliar, colorless landscape. But she chose to believe when on person dies, two should not. With this believe she began an excavation of self to find her new purpose in life. She did so by reimagining, recreating, and resurrecting untapped talent which lay dormant inside her for decades. Prissy Elrod challenged herself to step out of her comfort zone and write the book she could never find. What happens behind the closed door of a terminal diagnosis? In doing so she would help the next person sabotaged by the unexpected in life. The first page of her first book—Far Outside the Ordinary—propelled her from the shadows to the spotlight. It also created a new career and her new identity. Chasing Ordinary, the sequel, reveals how embracing loss can lead to eternal happiness. It may inspire others to believe in themselves and achieve extraordinary things.
