About the Book:

Growing up, Lucy has experienced strange moments – flashes of purple, a feeling of being watched over, and an unexplainable warmth. She's learned to push these feelings aside, focusing instead on football, her one true escape. However, when her headteacher suggests she keeps a journal, something extraordinary happens: replies begin to appear in vivid purple ink. These messages, from an unknown source, feel familiar and comforting, mirroring the purple butterfly that has silently accompanied her throughout her life. As Lucy delves deeper, she questions who is sending these messages and why they feel like coming home.
