Butterfly Awakens is about a forty-something Italian-American immigration attorney who moves through life-altering grief after her beloved mother dies from breast cancer. Questioning her life purpose, Nocero resigns from her federal career to search for the lighthouse she saw in a vision before her mother passes, leading her to walk El Camino de Santiago in Spain. In this must-read journey of transformation through personal loss, health challenges, and professional struggles, Nocero overcomes adversity by embarking on a spiritual and physical journey that will serve as a ray of hope for anyone who is struggling in life and unsure whether there is, indeed, a light at the end of the tunnel. A timely memoir in light of today’s current events where the pandemic pivot has led to the great resignation and 1 out of every 5 adults in the United States (approximately 43.8 million) experiences mental illness in a given year. The COVID-19 pandemic is only exacerbating these issues; many today require the real hope this book offers. Kirkus Reviews states that "The author’s limpid prose invests ordinary travails with an intense emotional charge that is often affecting."
