The patron saint of butterflies / Galante, Cecilia

Agnes and Honey are two friends born into Mount Blessing, a religious commune with strict rules and closely guarded secrets. Agnes wants nothing less than to become a saint, but Honey longs to get as far away from the commune as possible and live a normal life. When Agnes' grandmother, Nana Pete, takes the girls away from Mount Blessing, the commune's lies are revealed and the girls realize that they must make their own future.

When her grandmother takes fourteen-year-old Agnes, her younger brother, and best friend Honey and escapes Mount Blessing, a Connecticut religious commune, Agnes clings to the faith she loves while Honey looks toward a future free of control, cruelty, and preferential treatment.
