{April 9, 2010}   Wild Orchid by Cameron Dokey

Wild Orchid by Cameron DokeyMulan is a young girl, raised without a mother and with an absent father.  Her best friend teaches her how to fight and ride horses.  She hopes one day to meet her father, a great warrior in China’s army.  She longs to hear her mother’s name.  But when her father comes back, it isn’t long before war erupts again, and every family is required to supply one man for the army.  Her father is old and injured, and his new wife is expecting a child.  So Mulan sets off in his place.
