FOR A SINGLE WILD ORCHID...HER WORLD WAS TORN APART...

It is 1660. The King is back, but the wounds of the Civil War remain. In rural Westmorland, artist Alice Ibbetson has become captivated but the rare Lady's Slipper orchid growing on the land of recently converted Quaker, Richard Wheeler.

But others are equally captivated by the orchid's strange beauty. A local medicine woman is seduced by the Lady Slipper's mysterious medicinal powers, while Sir Geoffrey Fisk, Alice's patron and a former comrade-in-arms of Wheeler, sees the plant as a way to repair his ailing fortunes.

Vivid, gripping and intensely atmospheric, The Lady's Slipper is a novel about beauty, faith, love and loyalty.
