Carol Ven Den Hende presents: Goodbye, Orchid series

I finished Carol Van Den Hende’s wonderfully written first book of this trilogy. She has done an outstanding job of beginning the story of Orchid & Phoenix - the girl who witnessed a tragic accident at age 12 killing her parents resulting in a form of PTSD. The young man who raised by a stern father who is a judge - trying to make his father proud. Then there is the request from father to son 6 months after the father’s death - resulting in the meeting of the two. The project they both feel passionate about - Wounded Veterans with PTSD. This is where the story begins and you have to read to see how Carol brings you into the world of advertising and Wounded Warriors and how PTSD is tied to all the characters. Very well researched and exquisitely told. I found I want to see how this all unfolds and I hope you will as well.
