About this listen
 Compelled by deep instinct and the curious mind of a retired nurse, scientist, midwife, and nascent naturalist, the author retrieves a too-late-to-migrate monarch caterpillar from a December ice storm. She decides to learn all she can to care for the butterfly that soon emerges in her home while the second winter of COVID-19 rages outdoors. Each day of its longer-than-expected life brings new observations, challenges, and rewards, which the author shares with the listener as journal entries. How are butterflies and newborns alike? How and what will he eat? How often? Does he sleep? Where will he decide to roost? How long will he live? There are bigger questions, too. What does it mean to age? How do we care for our aging? When do we stop? What can foster a peaceful demise? Listen to to discover fascinating details with easy-to-understand science. In A Monarch in Winter: Biography of a Butterfly, discover: The evolutionary similarities between insects and humans. Ripple effects on nature and evolution. Parallels in life as we cope with the global pandemic. The preciousness of every moment. True connection and intimacy among living creatures. During these few months of semi-isolation in the second winter of COVID-19, the author creates a new routine, a new purpose, and a new relationship with nature through caring for the small creature in her care. Listen to this fascinating narrative and witness the butterfly effect on one womans life.©2023 Abbey Pachter (P)2024 Abbey Pachter Environmentalists & Naturalists Professionals & Academics
