520    "On the night her single mother is taken to a mental 
       hospital after a psychotic episode, eight year-old Francie
       is staying with her babysitter, waiting to take the train 
       to Los Angeles to go live with her aunt and uncle. There 
       is a lovely lamp next to the couch on which she's sleeping,
       the shade adorned with butterflies. When she wakes, 
       Francie spies a dead butterfly, exactly matching the ones 
       on the lamp, floating in a glass of water. She drinks it 
       before the babysitter can see. Twenty years later, Francie
       is compelled to make sense of that moment, and two other 
       incidents - her discovery of a desiccated beetle from a 
       school paper, and a bouquet of dried roses from some 
       curtains. Her recall is exact - she is sure these things 
       happened. But despite her certainty, she wrestles with the
       hold these memories maintain over her, and what they say 
       about her own place in the world. As Francie conjures her 
       past, and reduces her engagement with the world to a bare 
       minimum, she begins to question her relationship to 
       reality. The scenes set in Francie's past glow with the 
       intensity of childhood perception, how physical objects 
       can take on an otherworldly power. The question for 
       Francie is, what do these events signify? And does this 
       power survive childhood?"--|cProvided by publisher.
