Becoming Butterfly

Winter, 1966. Young Jane is swept into her first romance within the close-knit Quaker community of Westbridge. Peter Greenway, gentle and devout, seems the perfect match - until the changing tides of sixties Britain awaken Jane's yearning for freedom. As protests over social norms erupt across the country, Jane finds herself torn between duty and desire. A spontaneous act at a peace rally leads her to Tom Harrison, a rough-edged pacifist whose presence challenges everything she thought she wanted, and what begins as friendship soon grows into something more complicated. Decades later, a chance encounter reignites long-dormant emotions and forces Jane to come to terms with the life she's lived, the one she left behind, and the woman she still hopes to become. A historical saga spanning generations and continents, Sue Parritt's BECOMING BUTTERFLY is an exploration of identity, love, and liberation.
