Who Knows Where Butterflies Die 
Based on True Stories

Who Knows Where Butterflies Die is a timeless story of the human spirit’s desire for freedom

Were made to believe that learning the alphabet or chemistry and mathematics and this and that is more important than learning how to act like humans. Yet, believe it or not, its humanity that would save the world. Humanity is what prevents revolution and war. Humanity is what prevents tyranny, famine, mass killing, and torturing one another. Its sad to know that external forces are leading people to lose the respect and understanding they used to have towards each other.

With the never-ending invention of newer technologies, I feel that the world has fallen into a race to turn people to robots. Everyone seems to be in a competition to show off the latest gadgets in their hands, but they hide the quality of their hearts in their chests. With all the new developments that are pushing us into a deeper isolation, I dont know where were headed. I just know that thats whats leading us to a gradual, global self-destruction in many ways.

The Author’s Bio





Affected by war and revolution herself, and through extensive travel, Pasha Parvaneh Hashemi has come across many people escaping from oppressive, tyrant
rulers. These ordinary people – with extraordinary horror stories of their lives under autocratic regimes and their brave escape from their motherland in
search of freedom and peace – inspired the author to gather their true tales into this book, Who Knows Where Butterflies Die; which is written as an
allegory to protect the identity of its characters.





Pasha Parvaneh Hashemi holds a Ph.D. in Information Technology Education and Literature; a Post Master’s degree in Pedagogy Education; as well as degrees
in Fine Arts and Graphic and Communications Design.





She is the founder and chair of a non-profit literature club in British Columbia, Canada that promotes language, creative writing and artistry. This
multicultural association has become very popular with published authors and famous artists from across Canada and overseas, receiving appreciation awards
from universities and prominent figures.





She has also received awards from a variety of universities and associations for her extraordinary dedication and contribution to education, literature,
and artistry. A visual artist, she has had numerous art exhibitions across Canada with good reviews. She has designed the cover of this book too. Her
writing and illustrations have been published in local newspapers and magazines. Two of her poems have received recognition from the Library of Congress of
America and are published in their official books: The Path Not Taken and The Best of the 90s.





She is fluent in several languages but has chosen to write Who Knows Where Butterflies Die in English; which is her third. This book has also been
translated and released in Persian. She is a translator and a college professor in British Columbia, Canada, where she resides with her family.
