From Heart to Bookshelf
A dream rooted in community, connection, and a love of the written word
Raised in the Black Hills, Andy and Caitlin grew up with nature as their playground and stories as their compass. Monarch Books and Boutique is the embodiment of everything they value—family, belonging, and the transformative magic of books. Here, every shelf is stocked with purpose, and every corner invites you to linger.
The Faces Behind the Pages
Bookworms, parents, dreamers—and your friendly neighborhood shopkeepers
Andy is a romance and horror enthusiast with a soft spot for comic books (especially anything Hulk-related). Caitlin, a licensed therapist, finds joy in psychological thrillers, immersive fantasy, and creating space for others to feel seen. Together, they bring heart, humor, and hospitality to Monarch—along with their two kids, Rheanna and Roland, who are growing their own love for stories.
A Symbol of Transformation
Inspired by the journey of the monarch butterfly—and the journey of every reader.
The monarch butterfly represents change, growth, and beauty in becoming—much like reading a good book. It’s a name that captures the spirit of Monarch Books and Boutique: a place where stories take flight and transformation is always possible.
