by Carl Gregory (Author)
This story is fiction but is based on the author's father owning a horse in his youth, gifted to him by a Chief in the Seminole Tribe.
Blake's father is fading away, slipping further into the grasp of Alzheimer's with each passing day. Wanting to create lasting memories for himself before his father is consumed by the disease, Blake embarks on a road trip to uncover the fate of his father's beloved childhood horse, the golden palomino named Chief.
As they journey from the east coast of America to the west, Blake realizes that the butterflies he sees are the keepers of memories of those near to death, and they can transfer those memories to others.
Blake and his father encounter people along the way, including a drag queen named Seth who shares Blake's ability to see the butterflies. Seth joins them on their quest, and as they delve deeper into the mystery of Chief's fate, with Seth's help, Blake begins to understand the true power of his abilities.
Blake and Seth find themselves drawing closer together, and Blake realizes he is ready to love again, while Seth finds in Blake the strength to leave a dangerous and destructive relationship.
Blake's father passes away after watching a movie featuring Chief, leaving Blake to inherit a fortune and start a new life in California. With Seth again by his side, he forges a path toward happiness and closure from a tragedy in his past.
If you enjoy tales of the supernatural and stories of love, life, death and forgiveness, "Catching Memories" is a must-read; you may never look at a butterfly the same way again.
