"Early one summer morning, nine-year-old Sherry Gallagher flees in panic into the woods behind her house to hide from her abusive father. Following the death of their mother her older brothers and sisters have all left home, leaving Sherry to deal with her father alone.
"In the woods, Sherry encounters an enigmatic old woman who has just moved into a previously abandoned forest cottage. They form an unlikely friendship, agreeing to exchange fairy tales, which are by turns enchanting and heartbreaking. The old woman introduces the shy and damaged girl to wonder and beauty, but in Sherry’s world hope is a dangerous thing that threatens to unearth the secret she has so carefully buried--the secret of her darkest trauma.
"A compelling novel that explores the intersection of myth, love, imagination, and psychological resilience, Sherry and the Butterfly Lady is painful, surprising, and, ultimately, profoundly hopeful."
