Mother Self-publishes Memoir and Tribute for Remarkable Daughter

Sandra Silveira puts together a compilation of poems, stories and memories of her daughter in the Xlibris book ‘Butterflies, Purple Tulips and U2’.


Memories expressed in the written word draw attention to the beauty of a life well lived. This is what Sandra Silveira did for her daughter, Aimee, in the Xlibris release ‘Butterflies, Purple Tulips and U2’.

After her daughter lost the battle with a rare skin disease called Epidermolysis bullosa, Sandra decided to immortalize the memory of Aimee’s life as a child and an adult in an inspiring and motivational book. Sandra features her daughter’s short stories, writings and poems in this self-published title along with her own recollections of Aimee’s life as a remarkable young woman who endeavored to balance the life she loved and the disease she fought.

‘Butterflies, Purple Tulips and U2’ focuses on the challenges the Silveiras faced in finding help for Aimee and the joys they felt whenever help would come. The author hopes that readers who are suffering from Epidermolysis bullosa or have loved ones battling the disease will find benefits in Aimee’s story, and in the information and resources mentioned in the book.

The expression of faith, hope and love in the pages of ‘Butterflies, Purple Tulips and U2’ is not only a moving memoir of Aimee Silveira’s well-lived life but is also a fitting tribute by Sandra Silveira for a daughter she will forever love and remember.

‘Butterflies, Purple Tulips and U2’ is now available at the Xlibris.com online bookstore.
