They belong to each other, Nancy and Nicole—mother and daughter. They’re two halves of a whole, two facets of the same breath—until the day Nicole exhales. . . and never inhales again.

After the death of her daughter, and quickly losing her own battle with grief, Nancy moves from the house she can no longer bear to live in. While packing, she finds a box in the attic. Inside she uncovers treasures she didn’t know existed and evidence that her and her daughter’s lives had been more divinely entwined than she could’ve imagined.

The Truth About Butterflies is a true story of grief, hope, and transformation, and a single enduring truth: Life cannot be restrained by death.

5,0 su 5 stelle ... is a deeply felt and courageous story of the love between a mother and daughter
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 24 agosto 2016
Acquisto verificato
This is a deeply felt and courageous story of the love between a mother and daughter. It is very honest, which makes the terrible loss of a daughter in young adulthood very touching and very real to the reader. I hope in writing this book that Nancy Stephan found some solace in recalling the wonderful memories, and some release from the wrenching sadness of it all. What a devoted and wonderful mother and such a loving, if not always easy going, daughter. I feel sure the good memories and the poetry will be always an important and visceral link with a much loved daughter for the author. I feel privileged to have read this book and it will stay with me. Thank you Nancy for sharing this with others, especially anyone going through a difficult loss.

5,0 su 5 stelle A deeply moving heartbreaking but hopeful memoir
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 11 marzo 2013

I was so moved by Nancy Stephan's The Truth About Butterflies that when I finished reading it, I had to take some time to write the review.This is a gripping story of a young single mother whose only child, a daughter, Nicole is diagnosed with juvenile diabetes and ultimately succumbs to end-stage renal disease. It is a story that will linger long after the book is finished.
Well-written and well-crafted, Nancy starts the story with her own childhood challenges of her mother's death and her eventual placement in a foster home but she makes it clear in the first chapter that "this is Nicole's story" as well as their story together. Her ability to seamlessly weave in the backstory of her ethnic identity confusion, having been raised by a white mother and sent to live with a black family with present day challenges of dealing with Nicole's independent and risk-taking personality is impressive. The characters come alive on the page and I could instantly relate through her reflection and introspection to Nancy's angst and concern for her impulsive and free-spirited daughter. I became locked in time with this mother and daughter as they traversed so many challenges, including jail time for Nicole in the midst of her medical emergencies. As a health care provider, I was appalled at the insensitive treatment Nicole and Nancy received, especially at the end-of-life which added to the burden of losing a daughter at such a young age.
As is characteristic of all notable memoirs, Nancy invites us into a deeply painful experience with raw and gripping honesty then takes us through her eventual healing and transformation so that at the end, we feel satisfied and consoled. Above all, it is a beautiful love story between and mother and daughter. A stunning read worthy of widespread acclaim.

This author really has a way with words! This book made me laugh. It made me smile. And it made me want to cry. I have two daughters myself and cannot imagine going through the horror of losing a child. I do know that grace from God comes only when we need it. While we are in this world we are faced with many trials and troubles, but He makes all things beautiful in His time. And I believe that is what this author is trying to tell us by using the butterfly. I would have liked to have heard whatever happened to the author's foster mother, Erma Lee. I think I would absolutely love her! And also would have liked to have read how she had acquired her two best friends Eunice and Cynthia. I don't believe I ever read what she did for a living either, although she did reference her job a few times. And did Nicole ever have a job? Seems as though there was a huge gap in the story and much of it left out. But all in all, I enjoyed it.

5,0 su 5 stelle beautiful story
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 17 gennaio 2013

WOW - I was speechless when I finished reading this book and then I had to pause before I could breathe again! What an incredible story and I commend the author for sharing this very personal journey with the world.

There are a few things that stuck with me long after I finished reading. I cannot imagine the pain Nancy felt when she lost her daughter but I can empathize with her feelings of being able to share her last moments. Having been with my brother when he took his last breath, it is hard to imagine such a beautiful moment amid a sea of sorrow. I felt blessed to have been there when he "crossed over" so I totally understand how she felt grateful that despite everything, she was able to say goodbye the way she wanted to, not the way doctors were trying to force her too.

I admire her courage, strength and determination for standing up to the medical world. At a time when families are so vulnerable, doctors should be more empathetic. Having worked as a health care aid, I have seen families struggle with the same issues and when they need support the most, there is nothing more heartbreaking than watching families being forced to make "the right" decision without the right people at their side.

I noticed some readers complaining about the religious aspect of the book, but it was such an important aspect of the story that needs to be featured. It shows how incredible faith helped Nancy and her daughter get through this process and I believe the author recognized that and it was part of the story that needed to be told. So many people struggle through these things and fail to recognize a higher power at work, no matter what they believe and that higher power should be acknowledged and celebrated no matter who it is - God, Jesus or Buddah and people tend to forget that. I believe that acknowledged or not - if she had not had her faith (even if it ever faltered) it was ultimately what got her through this process and the moment she "gave up" that is when God came in and took over - it could not have been more obvious.

My deepest condolences to you Nancy - thank you for bravely sharing your story and letting us get to know your beautiful daughter. Whenever I see a butterfly, I will be thinking of your story, just like I am pretty confident that whenever you see a butterfly, Nicole is saying hello!
