GENRE: Children's book
Blurb:
Lisa was dying and all the doctors and modern medicine could not help her. She put her hope on a white orchid and a bumble bee. Every morning the orchid would blink at little Lisa which gave her the hope and strength the little girl needed. One day the bumble bee stung her, it was painful. The story is about faith and the strength one little girl had against the impossible. Sometimes whether divine intervention, mother nature, or just faith helps us overcome our moments in need.
