Death of a Butterfly Leal Smith

If you could control your own destiny would you? Jazmyne Greer at a very young age believed that she could do just that. Her grandfather, a butterfly herder, warns her about the dangers of trying to control her destiny; "capturing a butterfly is like trying to take control of your soul and destiny." She defies his wishes and experiences success from the world's view by becoming a famous video vixen. All of her success comes to a complete halt after experiencing tragedy and death. Realizing that she doesn't have the power to control other's actions, behaviors or life's events, she reverts back to her grandfather's wisdom for guidance. Death of a Butterfly is a story of a little girl's spiritual journey through life, love and tragedy.
