Summary
A delightful and heartwarming contemporary novel about family, love, grief, healing, and one precocious talking houseplant that reminds us of the beauty of living a life in full Bloom.

Morris Warner is withering away. After the sudden death of his husband, Fred, he has shut himself off from the world. No more going to movies with friends or swims in Lake Michigan, he instead prefers the quiet loneliness of his history books and Jeopardy! episodes with only the cat to hear his answers.

Morris’s stepdaughter Sloan feels like she has nowhere to grow. She’s about to get married to the man of her dreams, if only her mother would let her actually plan her own wedding and trust her to build her own life after her father’s death.

Jade is drying out. Literally. As a talking houseplant in Morris’s home, she and her plant housemates have been slowly wasting away, leaf by falling leaf, since Fred’s death and Morris’s lack of care. She needs to come up with a plan to make her new owner come back to life, no matter what it takes.

New York Times bestselling author Robbie Couch’s Bloom is a wondrous novel about life after loss, unexpected connections, and healing through humor, in which family, love, kindness, and, yes, Mother Nature triumph.
