About this listen
Embark on a transformative auditory journey with “The Orchid: The Secret Code of Modern Goddesses,” where the serene whispers of self-discovery meet the echoes of empowerment.
Mary, a woman shaped by wealth, heartbreak, and a mosaic of life lessons from across the globe, establishes an exclusive retreat, The Orchid. This sanctuary becomes a space for the emotional and spiritual healing of women from varied walks of life. Through the guidance of Mary and her team of teachers and healers, thirty women each week delve into themes of love and self-transcendence, awakening to the transformative power within.
The audiobook weaves the poignant stories of five women, each grappling with their own shadows—closeted truths, career turmoil, abandonment, trauma, and self-doubt. Their journey through The Orchid’s program reveals the love and solutions they already have within, offering listeners a mirror to their own paths of transformation and self-realization.
“The Orchid” not only serves as a backdrop for this collective voyage but stands as a symbol of growth and rebirth. Listeners will find themselves reflected in the struggles and triumphs of these women, gaining insights and tools for their own life challenges. This audiobook promises an immersive experience into the heart of women’s empowerment, promising not just a story, but a journey towards inner love and power.
Narrated by Robin McAlpine. Featuring “Heirloom,” a song by Sam-Maher.

Story
Some days Nora Nolan thinks that she and her husband, Charlie, lead a charmed life - except when there’s a crisis at work, a leak in the roof at home, or a problem with their twins at college. And why not? New York City was once Nora’s dream destination, and her clannish dead-end block has become a safe harbor, a tranquil village amid the urban craziness. Then one morning she returns from her run to discover that a terrible incident has shaken the neighborhood, and the fault lines begin to open: on the block, at her job, especially in her marriage.

Story
Paris, 1878: Following the death of their father from overwork, the three van Goethem sisters find their lives upended. Without their father’s wages, and with what little their mother earns as a laundress disappearing down the absinthe bottle, eviction from their single boarding room seems imminent. With few options for work available for a girl, bookish 14-year-old Marie and her younger sister Charlotte are dispatched to the Paris Opera, where for a scant seven francs a week, the girls will be trained to enter its famous ballet. Their older sister, stubborn and insolent 17-year-old Antoinette, finds herself launched into the orbit of Émile Zola....

Story
Connie Goodwin is an expert on America’s fractured past with witchcraft. A young, tenure-track professor in Boston, she’s earned career success by studying the history of magic in colonial America - especially women’s home recipes and medicines - and by exposing society's threats against women fluent in those skills. But beyond her studies, Connie harbors a secret: She is the direct descendant of a woman tried as a witch in Salem, an ancestor whose abilities were far more magical than the historical record shows.

Story
Louise Manson is the newest student at Highfield Manor, Dublin’s most exclusive private school. It seems nearly perfect: the high arched window alcoves and tall granite pillars, the overspill of lilac at the front gate and the immaculate playing fields, the giggling students, the dusty, oak-lined library, and the dark, festering secret she has come to expose. At first, Lou’s working-class status makes her the consummate outsider, though all that changes when she is befriended by the beautiful and wealthy Shauna Power.
