For most people, the birth of a baby is sign that life goes on, and that God is still in love with creation. What does it mean that women lose babies everyday, even when they are past the safety of the first trimester?
Broken Butterflies is a true story of a woman who was on the road to becoming a religious sister, only to learn more about God in her journey to becoming a mother. Rina Kenney has written a deeply personal story of a common yet strangely unexplored experience. She was raised a devout Roman Catholic and believed that God would be best served in helping the poor and needy. Through the gifts of religious life and the holy women she met, she learned about trusting her intuition and experiences with God and discerned her way from the monastery back into the ordinary world.
Most spiritual literature seeks to take us out of our bodies. Broken Butterflies puts us right back in. The author chronicles her experience with pregnancy and miscarriage, both early and late. She shares her personal story yet ties it to the larger culture in which women face pregnancy with heavy expectations and blind faith. Most women are handed a copy of What to Expect When You Are Expecting or other such manuals. Few are given the tools with which to approach this singular, liminal experience in a woman’s life. Broken Butterflies is the book to help women approach pregnancy from an empowered, prayerful stance. It is also for anyone suffering loss and struggling to find hope in a heartbreaking world
