Manipulated by an undiagnosed mentally ill mother, Michele Elizabeth reveals the underworld she endured for over fifteen years in this enthralling memoir, White Butterfly. Everyone saw a perfect family. Many saw a young girl's privileged and popular life. Behind closed doors existed something far more dangerous. A mother-daughter secret even family members were kept from. Like Chinese water torture, demonic ideologies, sexual philosophy, family conspiracies and religious indoctrination were dripped into the fertile mind of a young girl whose only real dream was to be loved by her mother. It's when Elizabeth becomes a woman wherein the truth sends her into a terrifying mental breakdown of her own. What almost destroys her turns into a life-altering adventure as Elizabeth distills out the delusions of the past and ultimately reclaims her individuality. A unique and triumphant tale of nonfiction-at once unashamedly honest, excruciatingly healing and beautifully written-it is truly a journey with the power to liberate others.
