The Butterfly Tree

One magical story across seven extraordinary generations--filled with love and faith and hope Twins born beneath an enchanted tree split by lightning--an enchanted door, enchanted table, enchanted bench A knife thrower, pistol duel, an heirloom opal ring---spectral soliloquies and premonitions that hit the mark An escaped circus tiger; a runaway slave and conductor--united as brothers on the Underground Railroad A house ablaze, spinal nerves burning from a football hit--a cross-country running race to never forget Dreams abandoned, a son abandoned, an abandoned shed--also, capitalized, Hope and Fayth and Love Seven extraordinary generations in one magical story--The Butterfly Tree
