About this book
Dellarobia Turnbow is a restless young mother on a struggling sheep farm in the Appalachian hills of Tennessee. Walking up the mountain one autumn day, she finds the forested valley glowing with what looks like fire. It turns out to be millions of monarch butterflies, settling somewhere they have never wintered before. The discovery draws in scientists, tourists, journalists and churchgoers, and it unsettles her marriage, her family and her community's sense of how the world works. Told in warm, observant prose, the novel weighs climate change, class and faith through the small, believable choices of one woman and the people around her.
