What our advance readers are saying: “Each character´s personal journey reflects somehow a woman we know. In more than one case, I found myself mirroring my own wounds.” Adriana | Mexico “From the first few chapters, I found myself stopping to reflect on what was happening and the emotions the characters felt. It was as if I were going through the journey with them.” Amy | Ithaca “The Orchid changed my perspective, illustrating that anyone can view life through the eyes of love. It teaches that regardless of past challenges—be it personal struggles, trauma, or guilt—we can choose to forgive and move forward with love and understanding.” Charlotte | Los Angeles “The book is a life changing experience altogether. It really gives the reader a perspective on life and how to make it a better journey from within. It makes you feel happy and lighter because it helps you to navigate through this great gift we all have called life!” Claudia | Italy “A great fiction novel that is easy to read and will make you smile, possibly cry and root for your fellow women friends. You will see some aspects of yourself in the characters and end up loving them. The message is always positive - there is always calm after the storm even if one has to work through some challenges. The reward is worth it.” Claudia | Puerto Rico “The Orchid is particularly beneficial for anyone struggling to cope with their current life situation. It’s an ideal first step for those not open to or unable to seek professional help. It’s also suitable for anyone looking to improve any aspect of their daily life and aspiring to live their best life.” Denise | New York “The Orchid is not a book to be consumed quickly; it is a rich source of wisdom and insight that demands to be savored, contemplated, and internalized. It’s a timeless companion on your quest for self-discovery, offering solace, inspiration, and a roadmap to inner harmony. Allow this book to be a constant source of guidance, a wellspring of empowerment, and a reminder that the journey towards self-love is both infinite and profoundly rewarding.” Fernanda | Mexico “The Orchid changed my life. Ever since I opened it, little by little, it was like seeing the world through a different lens. I could understand the details, the changes, and adapt to them. And it left me with precious things like meditation and the awareness of being part of something bigger.” Marisol | Mexico “This book will give you an amazing and accurate view of what each and every one of us can do to exist with ourselves and each other in the most positive of ways. Even if you’re not a believer YET!” Michelle | Los Angeles “At the intersection of fiction and self-help, The Orchid does a great job of encouraging female empowerment delivered in a compelling storytelling style. Those who enjoyed the inner thoughts of the women in ‘Three Women’, or the empowered protagonist in ‘Lessons in Chemistry’ would really enjoy this book.” Sonya | Boston “A real-life story book full of honesty and reality wrapped with warmth and love. An emotional and spiritual opener with the goal of finding love, acceptance and growth…a joy to read. The writing is simple and clear. The detail and imagery is beautifully crafted to transport you to the literal landscape of the heavenly place called The Orchid where the story takes place. The story, the characters and the teachings lead you through an emotional journey of self-discovery always ending in a place of empowerment and love.” Vanessa | Hong Kong

Now, Beth must start her own investigation after police write her off as just another busybody. Beth’s suspicions grow when she learns about an old locket found under Edith’s garage just before she died—a locket that belonged to a woman who went missing in the sixties. Could Edith’s death have something to do with the missing Emma Mahoney? Or was she perhaps targeted by a former-neighbour’s con-artist nephew intent on stealing his uncle’s fortune? Though her work as an infection control nurse requires sleuth-like abilities, Beth recognizes she needs helps and enlists the services of a former policeman, Cameron Ross. But with his mind fixed on solving Emma Mahoney’s cold case, will Beth be able to find justice for Edith?
