Lesley Anne Christian proves it's never too late to transform a lifetime of advocacy into powerful, purpose-driven fiction.

An Australian retired lawyer and lifelong champion for women's rights, particularly those impacted by domestic violence, she brings deep insight and emotional clarity to her debut novel, Butterfly. After earning a Master's in Creative Writing post-retirement, she turned to storytelling to explore the inherited trauma running through her own family's history-from colonial India to modern-day Australia.

Butterfly follows six generations of women linked by blood, loss, and resilience. It's moving. It's multi-generational. It's unforgettable.

This is fiction that heals. This is a story that stays with you.

Through themes of childhood pain, genetic memory, synchronicity, and transformation, Lesley Anne Christian creates a space where silence is broken and courage is born. Her writing is a voice for the voiceless and a light for those navigating their own lineage of hurt.

In Butterfly, she offers more than a novel-she offers hope. A call to rise, to reflect, and to emerge-like the butterfly-resilient, radiant, and free!
