Description: The Montoyas are used to a life without explanations. They know better than to ask questions. Orquâidea Divina invites them to her funeral to collect their inheritance, but Orquâidea is transformed instead, leaving them with more questions than answers. This is a novel about what we knowingly and unknowingly inherit from our ancestors, the ties that bind, and reclaiming your power.
