Solitary, nostalgic Liz Crane returns to her family's now-deserted farmhouse to study the migratory habits of the Monarch butterfly. A rich family history - all the anecdotes and blarney of successful Irish immigrants - is now tainted with sadness. Her cousin Amanda, a gifted military strategist, has been killed in Afghanistan, a loss foreshadowed by the earlier disappearance of her charismatic father. Reflecting on the fragility and transcience of human life and relations - mirrored in the Monarchs' restless flight - Liz finds that love is there to be found where you least expect it.

Recently returned to Lake Erie, Ontario, to study the migratory patterns of the monarch butterfly, entomologist Liz Crane moves into her family's now-deserted farmhouse. Casting a shadow over her life is the recent death of her cousin Amanda - a gifted military strategist killed in Afghanistan - and the disappearance many years earlier of Amanda's charismatic father. Liz is also haunted by a deeply buried family secret, by four different unexpected love affairs, and by the tragic events that ultimately altered all their futures. A compelling, intricately crafted novel of family legacies, love and betrayal, by one of Canada's outstanding writers.
