Vlinder has a decision to make. Does she surrender her baby to a complete stranger to save its life or face the prospect of the two of them being transported to a Nazi death camp?
In the darkest days of the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam, Vlinder faces an unimaginable choice: surrender her newborn baby to a complete stranger or risk both their lives in a brutal prison camp. What she chooses will ripple through the generations, establishing a legacy of secrets, lies, unspoken grief and lost identities.
Decades after the war, Vlinder's granddaughter Evangeline's quest to understand her grandmother's actions and her family's painful past reveals that there might be more to this legacy: a story of love and sacrifice, and a truth that has lain buried for over seventy years.
Spanning from the horrors of Auschwitz to the quiet suburbs of Melbourne and the magnificent Scottish Highlands, The Butterfly's Daughter is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a confirmation that the echoes of history shape who we are. Asking what it means to truly survive, this family saga will push the limits of hope and fear as it ponders the lengths we are willing to go to for those we cherish.
