Lynn PereiraOrchid Child begins in pre war Vietnam with the sex attack of a girl and swiftly moves on to the bright lights of Las Vegas after she is abandoned and disowned by her American husband who abducts their children. She eventually finds fortune and a new family in London, England. She builds up a successful business from nothing but is blighted once more with an acid attack that leaves her disfigured and blind. It took six years in private hospital and over 140 operations to rebuild her face - a face that has cost a million. The former entertainer and model with a talent for stocks and shares has many other highs and lows including a reckless showbiz marriage to a pop singer who bleeds her dry financially as well as emotionally. She has now worked out how to stop being a victim of life and is undoubtedly a victor - someone who has become an inspiration for those facing crisis. Her dream is to visit her family in Vietnam and once more find her first family. This colourful and descriptive story has powerful insights into life before the Vietnam war and after it as well as fascinating insights into the world of the rich and famous. |
