Happy release day! ALWAYS ORCHID tells the tale of an entrepreneur who fears that his disabling accident makes him the exact wrong person for the woman he loves. How far will she go to prove that the injuries he sustained saving a homeless man's life don't make him less than whole? Kirkus Reviews called Always Orchid "An engrossing, inspiring depiction of traumatized individuals growing amidst challenges."

Looking for something uplifting, check out this brand-new podcast episode in which 5x Paralympian and blind athlete Lex Gillette reads aloud a short story about a blind protagonist.
His reading--from Braille--is soulful. And the conversation afterwards? Lifted my heart!
Full disclosure: I'm the author of the short story, called "Before He Heard Her" 🌺

Happy 1-week book birthday, Always Orchid!
You were top selling in your Amazon category, and pulled prequel Orchid Blooming up into that status too!
5-star review excerpt: "I especially appreciate her compassion for what these traumatic injuries do to people. This is a story that will be in my heart for a very long time. Or dare I say....Always!"

I adore Kristan Higgins. You can tell how big her heart is from her books. She my latest review for her here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Which is why it's such a thrill that she loves my work too. “Carol Van Den Hende never disappoints. Her books are full of rich characters, real challenges and deep emotion.”

Wow, thank you, Midwest Book Review!
"Always Orchid" is the riveting 3rd book in the Goodbye, Orchid contemporary fiction series but can be read and enjoyed as a standalone novel. Deftly crafted characters, and inherently fascinating plot twists and turns, "Always Orchid" will hold a special appeal for fans with an interest in multicultural romance and personal life journeys that ...lead to unconditional acceptance.
