Descriere The Butterfly Tree: An Extraordinary Saga of Seven Generations - Woody Woodburn

\nOne magical story across seven extraordinary generations-\n \n-filled with love and faith and hope\n \n \n \nTwins born beneath an enchanted tree split by lightning-\n \n-an enchanted door, enchanted table, enchanted bench\n \n \n \nA knife thrower, pistol duel, an heirloom opal ring-\n \n--spectral soliloquies and premonitions that hit the mark\n \n \n \nAn escaped circus tiger; a runaway slave and conductor-\n \n-united as brothers on the Underground Railroad\n \n \n \nA house ablaze, spinal nerves burning from a football hit-\n \n-a cross-country running race to never forget\n \n \n \nDreams abandoned, a son abandoned, an abandoned shed-\n \n-also, capitalized, Hope and Fayth and Love\n \n \n \nSeven extraordinary generations in one magical story-\n \n-The Butterfly Tree\n \n \nFrom multi-national award-winning newspaper columnist Woody Woodburn comes a magical heartstring-pulling, heart-racing, debut novel about family ties that bind us across time.\n \n \n\n \nThe Butterfly Tree: An Extraordinary Saga of Seven Generations is about family ties that bind us across time-and the universal quest to rise to a higher purpose and then lift the next generation upon our shoulders. It is about deep roots and strong branches, literally and figuratively, and about a single family tree being grafted from three disparate-and multiracial-lineages, and made more majestic because of these unions.\n \n \n\n \nThis page-turning tale, told in short fast-paced chapters, takes readers on a sweeping adventure aboard the Mayflower and the Underground Railroad; under The Big Top of an 1860s American circus and inside a small high school athletic shed secretly inhabited by a homeless teenager in the 1980s; from the battlefields of the Civil War to the jungles of Vietnam; from 1620 to 2020.\n \n \n\n \nThe seven generations in these pages are not all related by bloodline, but are bound together by love and friendship-and by a kitchen table that was borne from The Butterfly Tree. Each protagonist overcomes personal adversity before rising to help another, and in doing so a single family tree is grafted from three disparate-and multiracial-lineages, and made more majestic because of these unions.\n
