Releasing the Butterfly

A Love Affair in Four Acts

By: Max Sherman

Narrated by: Marcus Corley

Releasing the Butterfly is a love story that follows the decades-long relationship of a couple who met as teenagers by happenstance at a jail in the Texas Panhandle and find happiness in all situations...including Alzheimer's. These descendants of blue-collar parents, raised in a tradition steeped in education and faith, became friends through a shared love of literature, theater, film, and music.

Having come of age in the 1950s, they would have to negotiate the terms of their relationship to ensure a wholly equal partnership. They would learn how to navigate a life together, find fulfillment, and, ultimately, confront a heartbreaking challenge that threatened to upend their happiness and their own self-identities.

Filled with so much Love

This book has taught me to live in the moment and to cherish the precious moments we have together.

Amazing

I couldn’t stop listening to this audible book. Even though I’m lucky to not have any Alzheimer’s in this family yet, it really helped me to understand how quality of life can still exist for the person inflicted with this disease as well as the ones that loves that person.
