Butterflies symbolize the fleeting beauty of life, transitions, and memories.
Dr. Abbey Pachter is a nurse, a grandmother, and a savior of one very special butterfly, named Spot. She watches him eclipse, develop, and explore her living room, and each new phase of Spot's life broadens her own viewpoint of survival during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In self-isolation from the dangers of a spreading illness, Abbey learns about the inner workings of a butterfly-what they eat, how they communicate, and what seems to bring them joy.
