<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this must-read journey of transformation through personal loss, health challenges, and professional struggles, Meg 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>One woman's dark night leads her on a journey to find her light. <p/><i>Butterfly Awakens</i> depicts the story of the extraordinary transformation of a forty-something Italian American attorney as she moves through unimaginable grief and sadness watching her beloved mother lose her battle to breast cancer. This tumultuous life experience shifts her world, causing her to question her life choices and opening her up to her soul's calling. Nocero brings readers along on her journey through a dark night of the soul as she deals with the grieving process, a toxic work environment, and intense stress that results in depression, anxiety, and an acquired somatic nervous disorder called tinnitus. Through it all, she never gives up, instead looking for the help she needs to start to heal and find her light. In the end, like the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly, this story is a beautiful love letter that honors Nocero's mother's legacy while detailing the awakening of her own. <p/>There are many stories about breast cancer and grief, but none are quite like this one. Throughout her tale, Nocero pulls the reader deep into her story through the intensity of her emotions; and in the end, after resigning from her career as a federal prosecutor due to a toxic administration, she searches for the lighthouse she saw in a vision when her mother died. Embarking on a spiritual pilgrimage on El Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain to get to the lighthouse at Cap Finisterre, she sets out to wake up and live again; the butterfly connection and stark honesty of her writing offers readers important lessons learned from moving through grief so that each person can shine their light again.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>2021 Royal Dragonfly Book Awards Winner in Self-Help/Inspirational</b><p><b>2021 International Impact Book Awards Winner <p/>2021 Literary Titan Gold Award Winner <p/>2021 Firebird Book Award Winner in Grief <p/>2021 PenCraft Awards First Place Winner in Non-Fiction Grief <p/>2021 San Francisco Book Festival Honorable Mention in General Non-Fiction <p/>2021 New York Book Festival Honorable Mention in General Non-Fiction <p/>2021 IAN Book of the Year Awards Finalist in Non-Fiction: Grief/Hardship <p/>2021 Best Book Award Finalist in Nonfiction: Inspiration</b> <p/> <p/>"Meg's memoir is a must-read for anyone dealing with loss.
