Laddar... Goodbye, Orchid: To Love Her, He Had To Leave Herav Carol Van Den Hende
Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken.  BettyTaylor56 | Oct 31, 2022 |   Such a beautifully written story! It's a love story but so much more! Orchid and Phoenix's story reminds us that sometimes love really can conquer all. I really enjoyed being able to hear from both of them. It really paints a clear picture. Just a heads up once you start reading you won't be able to stop! Once again a powerful, emotional and thought provoking page turner! (  ) jacashjoh | Oct 2, 2022 |  ) Cherylk | Sep 8, 2022 | This was a very poignant tale with a touch of "love at first site" saga. There is a carrer moe which distances the couple for a short while. It quickly evolves into misfortune and trauma. The characters are endearing, and all feel so real. It is hard to remember it is fiction. Be sure to keep a box of Kleenex handy! The scenes are easily visualized It can easily be considered as a "stand alone" but I can only imagine what the reader/listener would be missing if he/she made this mistake and not pursue the next two in the series. The Title and Cover Image are very well chosen. ^Beware: there is a few "F-Bombs" and a few other crude expletives made at emotional times. There is also a detailed sex scene, yet not explicit. +This audio-book was gifted me with no pressure whatsoever to post a positive review. This is my honest review.

What happens if fear and silence thwart a promising relationship? Can love overcome silence, and what would it take to make that work? In Goodbye Orchid foxy, successful Phoenix puts his girl friend on a plane to China, and on his way back to the office his life is permanently altered when a homeless man he’s trying to help pushes him onto the train tracks. The train crushes an arm and a leg. On a scale of 1-10, the adjustments he faces are at least a 12. Is his handicap insurmountable? And how will the love of his life, who witnessed her parents’ murder and can’t stand to look at pictures of the disabled, react to the new Phoenix? Set mostly in a burgeoning boutique ad agency in New York City, this is a well-researched story about what the loss of limbs can do to a couple. Readers will empathize with both Phoenix and Orchid, the girl friend in China who doesn’t know what happened to her lover. Author Carol Van Den Hende delves into the ever-escalating emotional consequences that each of them face at the same time she creates a promising story of overcoming physical obstacles. It’s also a story of clashing egos, the need to be right, and resistance to compromise. Phoenix’s twin brother, Caleb tries to help out of a combination of guilt and familial loyalty, not that he was in the train station. A concerned mother, a pushy assistant, and a collection of former girlfriends round out the cast. The author tackles a subject that’s still underrepresented in a compelling way. Author Carol Van Den Hende is an award-winner who writes about resilience and hope. Goodbye, Orchid won the 2020 American Fiction Award for urban fiction, 2020 Pinnacle Achievement Award for multicultural fiction, IAN Outstanding Fiction for Best New Novel, Royal Dragonfly Award, Audiobook Reviewer Author of the Year and more.

“Goodbye, Orchid” is a modern version of that story. Deeply in love, Phoenix sees Orchid off to her adventure in China. But a tragic accident in the subway leaves Phoenix a broken man. Now he has to make the hardest decision of his life. He believes it would be best to let Orchid go in order to protect her from his trauma.
The author has delivered a real page turner! A story of love, sacrifice, and resilience. This story is very raw with emotion. The author has very realistically presented a character going through the stages of grief – facing the loss of the life he had, trying to build a new life, the blow to his self-esteem, and the perception of how others may now see him.
And then there is Orchid. She is so confused, not knowing why Phoenix has rejected her. Orchid has her own trauma to overcome, and it may prevent her from being able to accept Phoenix as he is now.
Both Phoenix and Orchid will need to dig deep into their own perceived inadequacies if they are to find their way back to each other.
I highly recommend these two beautifully written books – “Orchid Blooming” and “Goodbye, Orchid.” (
