The Iron Butterfly is about the life of Regina Buendia, a young mother who suddenly finds herself all alone and penniless with nine young children to support after her husband died. Facing a bleak future, she has to find a way to tackle a male chauvinistic society where men still rule the business world. Will she be able to break through the barrier? As the Great Depression reaches the colonies, she is now faced with new concern – how to survive with business suffering and money being so tight. Then a major natural disaster happens with terrible consequence to follow. Her problems become insignificant compared to what is about to happen - the attack on Pearl Harbor and how the war in the Pacific affects their very existence. An inspiring story of faith, hope and daring ambition based on my grandmother's life.
