For decades, many creative and adventurous souls have
traveled to upstate New York to let their creative juices
flow at the Bosco estate. Once owned by Aurora and Milo
Latham, it became a posh setting for artists of all kinds.
The screening process is harsh, to be invited is an honor.
Five very different and artistic individuals find
themselves privileged to create among the lush beauty of
Bosco.
Ellis Brooks, first-time novelist, is working on a story
about Corinth Blackwell, the medium who came to Bosco in
the summer of 1893 to help Aurora Latham communicate with
her three dead children. Bethesda Graham is writing a
biography on the Latham's, while landscape architect David
Fox is writing about the gardens that are falling into
ruins. Throw in author Nat Loomis and poet Zalman Bronsky
and you have a very eclectic group who have more in common
with each other and the estate than they think.
As they wander through the gardens, underground tunnels are
discovered, statues come to life and mysterious plants
begin to bloom. The spirits of the Latham children are
within reach and anxious to communicate some haunting
message, but uncovering what the message is becomes the
real mystery to be solved.
THE GHOST ORCHID is a haunting tale of mystery, love and
deceit. The story has a slow beginning but ends up being a
ghostly page-turner that I couldn't put down until the
final sentence. Goodman is a masterful storyteller with the
way she weaves the past events with the present-day
occurrences at Bosco. Someone from the summer of 1893
didn't make it out alive. Will history repeat itself?
