Set in the Southern-most foothills of the Appalachians, it is a fictional account of those few, of the circumstances that propelled them and the resistance that they met; a story of human courage, which pits family member against family member and an idealistic minority against a complacent majority who can see neither a reason for nor the irreversibility of a restlessness that seethes beneath a facade of false civility on the part of some and painful acquiescence on the part of others. With a dichotomy of colorful characters, lyrical descriptions, hints of the supernatural, and flashbacks, it is a moving account of a society on the brink of change, as well as a precursor of things to come -- and from conventional wisdom, to dogmatic religiosity, to a still-latent cry for civil rights, there are no sacred cows. A must-read for anyone interested in the deterrent effects of a world more comfortable with the supposed wisdom of traditionalism than with new conceptual realities and the changing paradigms that accompany them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Authorhouse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45155755851927,"sku":"9781418497309","price":2025.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781418497309.webp?v=1767301336","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/brushed-by-the-butterflys-wings-9781418497309","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
