The human soul, the purpose of life, gender and tolerance; The Heavy Butterfly flutters between all offering insights into what our existence might mean and how a soul might exist, in us, in this world, and somewhere beyond.

In that awful moment, as Hugh knew his daughter was dying in his arms, he saw her floating on a door on a sea in the clouds. And Amber saw him looking at her. If he saw Amber, he can find her, but Hugh has no plan beyond that simplistic logic. Until a chance encounter with Gerald C. Farer. If he's willing to solve a few puzzles and do exactly as he's instructed, Gerald can help Hugh Mann find his daughter's soul.

The Heavy Butterfly weaves a magical, thought-provoking story of loss and redemption. It is other-worldly yet grounded in the eternal theme of a parent's love for a child and a child's need to be understood.

About the Author

I was brought up Catholic, I chose to be atheist, I studied the Philosophy of Science, against my expectations I was an evangelical priest for 10 years. I am influenced by all the above but am mostly partner, parent, son, brother, friend.

I have always been fascinated by the idea of an eternal soul. How can something metaphysical be contained in a human body? What is its purpose? Where would it go when we die? How would a soul develop after we die? The Heavy Butterfly uses a logical fiction to suggest possibilities.

We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others.
