This story follows Orquidea Divina on her history and her inheritance to her family members.
This book was very much magical realism. It reminded me of the Practical Magic series by Alice Hoffman (obviously less witchy). It had very much a realistic idea to it mixed with some unreal stuff. Everything did come together very well in the end, I wasn't sure it would. Overall, this is a great show of magical realism if you like the genre. This is about as much fantasy as I will read. It had great show of family coming together for each other despite their differences.
