A richly detailed story of star-crossed lovers...all told with unforgettable heart and insight.
Goodbye Orchid is a beautiful book, full of deep, thoughtful truths as well as hard-won wisdom for its protagonists. All the characters are richly drawn, and the author never shies away from showing us their flawed humanity. Their individualized and honest perspectives make the journeys as surprising as they are engaging.
Ms. Van Den Hende tells a heart pounding story of survival, resilience and true grit.
A book full of soul and heart about love, loss and redefining oneself. I adored this modern, important take on the power of love. An expertly crafted novel that will tug not just on your heart strings, but on your soul.
Goodbye Orchid tugs at readers’ heartstrings and takes us on an emotional roller-coaster ride through this serious romance, layered with trauma and lost love. The characters—including Phoenix’s twin brother and friends—are richly drawn, and the themes are timeless. But it’s the story that kept me turning those pages and hoping for a satisfying ending. Van Den Hende did not disappoint.
