The Butterfly's Daughter by Mary Alice Monroe
5.0
I absolutely loved this book - a great summer read! It’s a beautifully-written story about family, love, courage, and a pilgrimage that parallels the journey of the butterflies. It reads like a Hallmark movie with more depth and enlightened moments. I learned a lot about the monarchs and their strength in their life cycle.
“It’s the change itself— the metamorphosis— that is the true wonder... no one stops to think of how the caterpillar must shed its skin five times before it forms the chrysalis. The caterpillar doesn’t just change. It completely transforms. That’s the miracle that gives us hope.”
“All myths, and legends are nothing but stories...we take what we need from stories, to give our lives meaning. Because each of us is writing our own story.”
“Life isn’t a series of random events at all, but rather an expression of a deeper order.”
