It's hard enough being a teenage girl, but seventeen-year-old Katherine has the added problem of being badly scarred from burns she suffered as a small child. She tries to cover them up and endures endless rounds of surgery in the hope of one day being “normal” and beautiful.
Amidst the pain and shame she navigates the normal rites of youth -- boys, schoolwork, friendship and conflict with parents.
An extraordinary story of a journey where pain and trauma become triumph and a passion for living, Butterflies is a coming of age story that celebrates the fighter in all of us.
