Produktbeschreibung
Slippy McGee sometimes known as the butterfly man is a novel that explores the intersection of identity, redemption, and community transformation. Set in the town of Appleboro, the narrative follows the arrival of a mysterious injured man whose past as a criminal contrasts sharply with the nurturing environment he unexpectedly finds himself in. The setting reflects a place steeped in tradition and moral expectations, which gradually becomes the backdrop for one man's inner evolution. The early portion of the book introduces a compassionate household that offers sanctuary and care, illuminating the difference between judgment and understanding. The emotional and physical trauma experienced by the newcomer becomes a conduit for exploring questions about change, human value, and the possibility of renewal. While the man s former life haunts him, his interactions with those around him challenge him to reassess who he is and who he could become. The story avoids sensationalism, choosing instead to focus on the slow unfolding of grace and transformation through ordinary acts of kindness and trust, grounding abstract ideas in lived experience and personal struggle.

Oemler's writing is noted for its vivid settings, complex characters, and exploration of themes like identity, family, and social class. One of her most famous works, Slippy McGee (1917), tells the story of a reformed criminal and was well-received for its engaging narrative and spiritual undertones. Another notable novel, The Purple Heights (1920), delves into family secrets and the intricacies of small-town life, showcasing Oemler's talent for weaving suspenseful plots with rich emotional depth. Though she achieved significant popularity during her lifetime, Oemler's work has since become less widely known. However, her contributions to American literature, particularly in the Southern Gothic tradition, continue to be recognized by those who appreciate her distinctive voice and storytelling. Marie Conway Oemler passed away in 1932, leaving behind a legacy of compelling and thought-provoking fiction.
