2024 INDEPENDENT AUTHOR AWARDS (IAA) WINNER: Literary Fiction & Midwest Fiction 2024 AMERICAN FICTION AWARDS Gold Medal for “Family Saga” 2024 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS Finalist for Multicultural Fiction K.C. FINN, Readers’ Favorite Reviewer (5-Star Review) "Author Woody Woodburn really knows how to show personality and emotion in crafting a deeply moving and enlightening novel." CONNIE HALPERN, Mrs’ Figs Bookworm “A Literary Triumph!” From multi-national award-winning newspaper columnist Woody Woodburn comes a magical heartstring-pulling, heart-racing, debut novel about family ties that bind us across time. The Butterfly Tree: An Extraordinary Saga of Seven Generations is about family ties that bind us across time—and the universal quest to rise to a higher purpose and then lift the next generation upon our shoulders. It is about deep roots and strong branches, literally and figuratively, and about a single “family” tree being grafted from three disparate—and multiracial—lineages, and made more majestic because of these unions. This page-turning tale, told in short fast-paced chapters, takes readers on a sweeping adventure aboard the Mayflower and the Underground Railroad; under The Big Top of an 1860s American circus and inside a small high school athletic shed secretly inhabited by a homeless teenager in the 1980s; from the battlefields of the Civil War to the jungles of Vietnam; from 1620 to 2020. Although not all related by bloodline, this unforgettable family is brought together by circumstances and unified by love and friendship—and by a mystical kitchen Table that was borne and crafted from The Butterfly Tree.
