About the Novel
Set against the backdrop of the phenomenal southerly migration of the monarch butterfly, The Butterfly’s Daughter is a powerful tale about the transformational journey of four women chasing monarchs, myths and love across the United States to Mexico. For Luz Avila, it is the journey of a lifetime as she uncovers the truth about her family--- and herself.Â
