Synopsis
Genesis “Gigi” Gill found out that she was adopted at the age of nine. All that her adoptive parents could tell her was that they took her from a Mexican orphanage in the border, where she was brought in by a teenage boy.
Almost thirty years later, Gigi is a successful journalist about to get married, when her adoptive mother suddenly passes away. Now, she is determined to find her birth parents more than ever. When an opportunity comes to write about the US-Mexico border and international relations, Gigi snatches it right up. However, she is hardly prepared to face what this trip brings her way.
Is she ready to face the truths buried three decades ago? Just who were her parents and why did they leave her?
In a journey of self-discovery and transformation, will Gigi find peace while uncovering the evil outcomes and realities of international sex-trafficking, murder, and violence?
A gripping and moving story told from the perspective of three distinct accounts each in a different decade, “The Flight of the Butterfly” transports the reader from modern-day Southern California to the Hong Kong slums, and the brutal reality of the US-Mexican border of the final years of the 20th century.
