Description

Living with severe burns, the hospital and doctors is not easy when all you want to do is be a teenage girl. Katherine was severely burned in an accident when she was three years old. Now seventeen, she still needs regular skin grafts and is willing to undergo an experimental procedure so she can look, "normal." A moving tale of emotional and physical damage and Katherine's need to overcome her fears, "Butterflies" is also a positive story of individual strength and family love. Whether a person is physically damaged or "perfectly normal," life still has to be lived, and the story of Katherine and her friends will resonate with all readers.
