Review
This was a great family drama read. James Fant has a way of appealing to the reader with relatable characters.
I liked that this wasn't about just one character, we were given stories about multiple main characters and felt equally invested in each one.
This novel showed growth from beginning to end as did the characters.

James Fant is an award winning author who lives in Charleston, SC. When he’s not reading everything from business management to mysteries or “entertaining” his family with piano solos and spoken word, James writes inspirational romance and suspense that warms the heart and hopefully makes readers laugh—in public.
The idea for An Ode for Orchids came from his appreciation of the enduring strength and tenacity of all of the women in his life: his hardworking mother, loving grandmother, strong sisters (related and non-related), no-nonsense aunties, and last but definitely not least, his beautiful wife.
