Diana’s new book Armor for Orchids was my “buddy” wherever I went for a few of months in the second semester of 2016. Not that I’ve taken so long to read it (LOL) but because I couldn’t let it go.
This is the kind of book that goes on my list of “before and after I read it”. Before I read her book I was one kind of person. After, I’ve changed. At the very beginning I thought this was just another entertain and sweet Christian-like novel. But to me it goes deeper.
I wont tell you “I didn’t put this book down”, because I did. But not because Diana’s book wasn’t good. On the contrary! But I had to put it down many times, I had to put this book down to sight, to sob, I put it down because I had chills, I put it down because I had to hold the tears because I was reading in a public place and had to put myself together. I put it down to think about my own life and my situation. I put it down to cry and to pray. Also, I couldn’t stop thinking about those girls and I take it back and read the same passage again because it has resonated in me.
This is the kind of book that is more than just beautifully written, it’s inspirational. I truly believe that God still inspires writers like He did with the writers of the Bible. And I understood that He sends me a message through the Armor of Orchids’ stories. I was reminded of how God has always looking for us, He is always in control, no matter what may happen.
I’ve been Elise. Elise reminded me who I was at my early adult years. Avoiding a love kind relationship at any cost. She showed me how much I have been healed.
I’ve been Marissa. So. Many. Times. Marissa lived a nightmare that (almost) every woman fears and many have to pass through. And she showed me how much I have learned and how much I had survived.
And now, I am Charlotte. I just hope don’t go so far as she did (no judging!). Reading Charlotte’s chapters, especially the first part of her story, was like reading my own story. I don’t want spoil, but I would like to say that I know her pain and that many of you knows her pain too. Reading her parts was like living again.
But those girls had Poppy, and I don’t have anyone like her to talk, to guide me, to pray for me. She is the kind of friend who I would like to have. I really fall in love with her! She had survived so much and she brings so much wisdom and calm and peace that I didn’t want to let her go.
This is a book for every woman who don’t want to be in a romantic relationship, for every woman who lost a partner, for every woman who is struggling to make a relationship work and for those women who had passed through all and come out stronger and wiser."
