Butch's Room

Book Cover & Preview Text
Butch's Room had the nicest window, a very large window that faced toward the East. Like an eternal flame, fresh sunshine poured in through this glass portal each morning, affirming the sanctity and purity of this hallowed place. Yet death had come here, crushing death, sparing no one. The scene here was simple, but bewildering -a confusing mixture-- beauty and violence, hope and despair, life and death, love and grief. Butch's Room was ultimately disturbing, impossible to fully understand, and somehow achingly beautiful.
