About this title

Synopsis

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.
