Amihan lives on
Culion Island, where some of the inhabitants – including her mother
– have leprosy. Ami loves her home – with its blue seas and
lush forests, Culion is all she has ever known. But the arrival of
malicious government official Mr Zamora changes her world forever:
islanders untouched by sickness are forced to leave. Banished
across the sea, she’s desperate to return, and finds a strange and
fragile hope in a colony of butterflies. Can they lead her home
before it’s too late?
