The Orchid Sister by author Anne D. LeClaire is very interesting and I enjoyed it from beginning to the end! It starts with a mysterious chapter which is narrated through Tia Clara and the thoughts and dreams she experiences of lost girls and a scarred woman of many masks. She has lived for many years in her little house along the coast of Mexico and has sadly watched the little village change as tourism grows.
Madison and Kathrine are sisters who live in the eastern US. Kathrine is the oldest and cared for Madison as she survived and suffered injuries with horrible burns in a plane crash which killed their parents. The girls are older now and Madison is an artist who makes beautiful and very expressive masks. Because of her scars, she prefers to live alone with her cat, Winks and enjoy a peaceful life.
Katherine is a freelance journalist and travels a lot tracking down stories which usually make the news. She is very secretive when she is on assignment for just the right subject in her next expose'.
I won't post spoilers, but Katherine goes missing and Madison must decide what to do to find her sister. She is reluctant to travel, but she must seek clues as to what has happened to Kathrine. There is also a narrative of Katherine as she experiences unthinkable experimental procedures because she asked too many questions!
