Orchid Child is a beautiful story  based on a real study that looked into families with high rates of neurodiverce conditions, particularly schizophrenia. 

I really enjoyed reading this book, it was beautifully written and unique. The story is set in two timelines, one in 1920 and the other in 2002. I found this novel engaging and thought provoking. 

I highly recommend reading Orchid Child, it’s a slower paced story but very enjoyable and interesting. I had an amazing time reading it and answering ten questions for the read along.
