Her First time EVER at FoxTale, and are we psyched about it! New York Times bestselling author of TIME IS A RIVER and LAST LIGHT OVER CAROLINA has written a coming-of-age story about a woman, Luz, who was abandoned by her mother when she was very young and was raised by her grandmother, whom she calls Abuela. Abuela wants to return to her village in Mexico where the Monarch butterflies migrate each year but is unable to make the trip before she dies. Luz decides to make the journey with Abuela’s ashes following the path of the butterflies. Along the way she meets extraordinary women who impact her greatly. When she arrives in San Antonio, she meets the most astonishing woman of all who will not only change her future but cause her to rethink everything she knows about her past. Mary Alice Monroe is known for her intimate portrayals of women's lives and for drawing parallels with nature and human nature. An active environmentalist, she draws on her own experiences to bring to life the seductive southern coastline and her home--the sea, marshes, and maritime forests of the South Carolina low country. Her thirteenth book, The Butterfly’s Daughter journeys from Milwaukee to Mexico and is already getting some great reviews: "Monroe, known for her environmental fiction (The Beach House, Sweetgrass and more below), skillfully incorporates lore about the monarch butterflies into a rich novel about generations and tradition. This book, filled with unusual female characters, is highly recommended for book clubs and readers of women's fiction." - Library Journal (jasbro)… (més)
