About This Book
"Charley McFarland is an aging '60s radical and a continuing advocate of losing political battles. When a proposed local highway bypass threatens the home of the exquisitely obscure Rocky Mountain Phistic Copper butterfly, he knows it's time to rally the troops once more.".
"His dysfunctional Butterfly Coalition includes his estranged, brilliant but self-destructive wife, Kelly; his baffling, Gen-X son, Luther; the sharp-tongued, chain-smoking Lydia Babcock, who owns the butterfly's turf; Susan Delgado, a hyperactive local reporter smitten with Charley; and other idealistic misfits he lures into the fight against the powers-that-be.".
"Kelly and Charley, still in love and at each other's throats, relish the butterfly's cause as their last, best chance at reconciliation. But as the crusade's momentum builds, the chaotic relationships driving it also threatens to tear it - and the town - apart."--BOOK JACKET.
