Butterfly Dreams

Delving into China, Cross-Cultural Friendships, and the Environment

By Mary E. Klug

Overview


"Get to China before it changes too much," Mary was advised. It was 1982, and China was beginning to transform itself after years of isolation. When Mary, a seasoned Delta flight attendant, arrived in Hangzhou a year later, her life also began a major transformation. China became her passion—at times her nemesis and ultimately her teacher—as she returned year after year, decade after decade. Butterfly Dreams tells the story of how, through years of friendship and exploration, Mary came to discover her life's purpose: working with others, in China and the United States, to create a sustainable and thriving Earth for all.
