"In "The Butterfly's Daughter", Mary Alice Monroe gives us a novel
that, like the monarch butterfly, has a plentitude of beauty and
wonder. Luz Avila is a character we cheer on as she makes her
journey from Wisconsin to Mexico and, equally, toward knowledge and
forgiveness." --Ron Rash, "New York Times" bestselling and
award-winning author of "Serena"
"Monroe, known for her environmental fiction (The Beach House;
Sweetgrass), 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"
