What Amazon says:

Set in present day Appalachia, this parable of catastrophe and denial explores how the complexities we inevitably encounter in life lead us to believe in our particular chosen truths.  Kingsolver's riveting story concerns a young wife and mother on a failing farm in rural Tennessee who experiences something she cannot explain, and how her discovery energizes various competing factions - religious leaders, climate scientists, environmentalists, politicians - trapping her in the center of the conflict and ultimately opening up her world.

This was a great book.  After reading a book with my daughter about the monarch butterflies (non-fiction - "Bicycling With Butterflies) I was pleased that this book captured the story in partially fictional form.  I liked the characters and how the story develops bringing this town together because of the Monarchs and the scientist trying to figure out why they ended up there.  The story flows well and I enjoyed it from beginning to end.
