Color Me Butterfly - A Story Of Domestic Violence

Here's a video clip of Saving Promise founder L.Y. Marlow reading a passage from her story Color Me Butterfly.



The story Color Me Butterfly is inspired by the true story of Marlow's family and the five generations of domestic abuse that they have suffered through. Here's a blurb about the book.

The last thing Eloise Bingham wanted was to leave the comforts of her South Carolina home and family. But at the end of World War II, the young wife follows her formidable husband, Isaac, to Philadelphia—only to experience Isaac’s sinister and violent temper. Eloise harbors fear and resentment, but carries an unwavering faith that helps her to mother her children. Eloise’s children—and their children and grandchildren—will face their own trials over the next sixty years: Mattie, who has lived in her mother Eloise’s shadow, finds it takes a life-changing tragedy to help her break free; Lydia, Mattie’s strong-willed daughter, summons the resolve to rise above the family’s cycle of abuse; and Treasure finally Treasure, Lydia’s lively daughter, has the chance to be the first to escape her family’s destructive legacy.
