Broken Butterfly

Wanda Gray describes herself as an "unfortunate expert" in the world of trauma, addiction, and loss after being on the frontlines as a mother with a child who suffered from substance abuse caused by deep trauma. Gray belongs to Moms Stop The Harm, a network of Canadian families impacted by substance-use-related harms and deaths, and her writing has served as a form of cathartic therapy in short stories, articles, and now this book, Broken Butterfly.

Gray completed the creative writing program at the University of Saskatchewan and has been writing human interest articles for print and online publications for more than thirty years. She's a contributor to the online magazine Life As A Human, and teaches wellness and yoga. She lives in North Saanich, British Columbia, with her husband, where they share a two-family home with their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, as well as three cats and a dog.
