Why read it?
1 author picked The Truth about Butterflies as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This story is told with such grace that, even for those with different or no spiritual beliefs, the author’s faith in God is simply part of the story and is endearing rather than offensive.
From Leila's list on death from a different perspective.
