The Rogue Scorpion by Lynda Faye Schmidt is a resonant tale with
robustly developed themes of healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. It
follows Isabella Ricci, an artist who sets out on an adventure to discover and
embrace her purpose. But life throws adversity at her at every turn, starting
with a traumatic experience in Thailand. When she learns that her father isn't
well, Isabella goes to Vancouver, eventually finding herself in an unhealthy
relationship. She is a woman beset by vicissitudes and she refuses to abandon
her personal odyssey, which leads her to Panama. Will she be able to trust her
instinct, find true love, and embrace who she is meant to be?
This is the story of most people. We spend our
lives struggling to find out what we are here for, falling in love with the
wrong person, getting hurt over and over, wondering if we can finally figure
out what actually makes us tick. The author uses this human experience in
creating a character that readers will love, examining her emotional and
spiritual climates with cleverness. Isabella Ricci is a genuinely flawed and
relatable character who will remind readers of their own hurts and the
in-between moments of hope and enlightenment. Schmidt writes in dazzling prose
and has the extraordinary ability to explore the emotions and psyche of her
protagonist with unwonted clarity. A tale of resilience and undying hope, The
Rogue Scorpion is permeated by a strong sense of humanity and realism, a
story that intelligently explores the beauty of a broken soul. The conflict is
mostly emotional and it moves the story steadily forward. Overall, the
narrative is balanced by the author's strong characterization and irresistible
narrative voice; the gorgeous writing and the superb use of streams of
consciousness made this story even more enjoyable.
