About This Book

A true story about mothers and daughters, sorrow and triumph!

When Isaac Bingham asked Eloise to be his wife, neither knew or understood that their union would birth sixty years of strength, courage, and hope rooted in four generations of mothers and daughters.  Set in Philadelphia, Color Me Butterfly tells the story of four generations of women who embrace a legacy of unconditional love, old-fashioned family values, and faith to triumph over a life plagued with unspeakable abuse and pain.

There is Eloise, who harbors fear and resentment but carries an unwavering faith that helps her to mother her children…  Mattie, one of Eloise’s daughters, finds herself in the shadow of her mother before a life-changing tragedy helps her break free…  Lydia, Mattie’s strong-willed daughter, is the first in the family to break the cycle of abuse and realize her own strength to push beyond the unimaginable… and Treasure, Lydia’s lively daughter, carries in her big, brown eyes all of the hope and fearless determination from the generations of women who came before her.

Inspired by a true story, Color Me Butterfly is a heart-wrenching story about four generations of mothers and daughters who dared to turn tragedy into triumph when they found the courage to spread their wings and fly.
