Through her dreams and visions, Butula embarks on a spiritual journey to define herself as a woman and as a writer, learning along the way to find a guiding force in Nature. Evocative and moving, the Perfection of the Morning is a revelation of self affirmation of the healing power of Nature that will echo in the mind and heart."-- Cover ER -
