about this book: A story of love, lies and redemption unfolds one coincidence at a time under the aura of the rare and mystical ghost orchid high in the cypress canopy of the Everglades. NPR Reviews praise Ghost Orchid for the beauty of the Everglades that shines through on every page, the ghost orchid the heart and soul of the story; a must read. The professional photographer Roger, the model Neev and the mysterious Jack seek the perfect subject in the perfect light, finding themselves and the answer to the question: Is love eternal? A complex unraveling of family secrets and unique friendship touches the heart, adding new meaning to the roots that strengthen family ties.
The "super ghost," inspiration for Ghost Orchid, was discovered in 2007 as the only ghost orchid plant at Blair Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, Naples, FLorida, drawing those on ghost orchid quests, including D. K. Christi, from across the globe. Mesmerized by its amazing beauty, D. K. Christi visited the "Super Ghost" every day of its three month's blooming cycle for two years as the novel, Ghost Orchid took shape as a tribute to this rare and endangered flower and a plea to save natural habitat. Darryl Saffer, award-winning environmental filmmaker, produced the book trailer at www.dkchristi.com and youtube.com after enjoying the novel and its relevance to his life experience and gifted it to D. K. Christi. It is a timeless story with spiritual implications or a paranormal twist, depending on point of view. D. K. Christi is a journalist for local newspapers
