Written as an epistolary novel, Wild Orchid is frank but optimistic, literal yet innocent. What she discovers will change her life forever. Summer also holds out the possibility of finding her own boyfriend, though Taylor isn't quite sure what that may involve. For Taylor, whose life experience has been seriously limited, this means facing the test of meeting new people who work in the park's nature center–and facing it alone. Taylor's mother encourages her daughter to explore the park's possibilities on her own. Taylor would just as soon stay at home in Saskatoon, but because she suffers from an autistic condition called Asperger's Syndrome, she can't stay on her own. The holiday has been planned so Taylor's mother can spend time with her latest boyfriend, Danny, and work in the pizza restaurant near the park that Danny runs. Taylor Jane Simon is 18 years old and spending the summer with her mother in Prince Albert National Park.
