Praise Song for the Butterflies by Bernice L. McFadden

4.0

I love reading books that are not your 'typical western novels'. This book is a hard read, it is about a little girl forced into slavery, in the name of religion. To think of 100s of girls in this situation, to be sacrificed to turn one's luck may seem preposterous, but it is no more ludicrous that some of the religious customs that have existed over time.
Abeo is a victim through and through. I would give it 5 stars for the story, the writing itself is not amazing, but then Ms. Mcfadden is sharing an important story and that is what we need to show up for.
