THE PATRON SAINT OF BUTTERFLIES by Cecilia Galante (Bloomsbury)
Finished copies have arrived

We finally have finished copies of the young adult book that has been generating so much buzz! 

 

Agnes and Honey have always been different, but the older they get, the more they are growing apart. Agnes thinks life at the Mount Blessing religious commune is just perfect, and longs to become a saint when she dies. Honey, on the other hand, hates the strict and oppressive environment at the commune and its controlling and manipulative leader, Emmanuel. But when a terrible accident happens, forcing the girls to flee the commune with Agnes’s grandmother, the girls begin to learn just how hard life on the “outside” can be. During their journey from the commune and towards what Honey hopes will be a normal life, the girls test the bonds of their lifelong friendship, and try to understand what love, faith and friendship really means.
