A DEBUT NOVEL BY SHARON SUSKIN
Inspired by the strength of the human spirit, Sharon Suskin's debut novel explores how love can flourish even in the darkest times. The narrative unfolds with lyrical prose, drawing readers into a world filled with vivid imagery and heartfelt emotion. Based on a true story of three women living in the early 1900s, where Appalachia bound them in poverty and isolation.
Three Women, Three Stories of Survival
The Blue-Eyed Butterfly is not just a story of loss; it is a celebration of resilience, for all women. Through the lens of words, I hoped to convey that even in our most painful moments, there is always a flicker of hope waitng to be discovered. The novel, based on a true story, captures the essence of sisterhood and the transformative nature of love. With its rich characterization, and evocative storytelling, The Blue-Eyed Butterfly is poised to resonate with anyone who has faced heartache but still found the joy. Like grains of wheat, the wind sows and reharvests and builds twicefold. As they built their lives again.
A love that outshines the Loss
Three Women-Three Stories
Lillian

Her story carries a weight fed by decisions of regret, but also a story fueled by memories that held onto her unwavering soul. For she was still able to love a portion of him.
Callie
Callie, at age 10, knew her destiny was to be headstrong and willful. She was the one who learned to fight when no fight was left in her. Even her mother was unable to save her, for she ceased to exist on a night that was unchangeable. But after years of abuse, she discovered a world that she could have never foreseen.
Lydia
Lydia is a child born of love and desire. Her mother, unable to provide, releases her in heartbreak—until her mother's return forges a quiet, unwavering promise between them to never be parted again.
