Embark on a transformational journey with protagonist Bradley Wales as he grapples with life-altering changes in Flower, the debut release from Rhode Island author Brandon L Roberts. From struggling to connect with others to feeling lost in the chaos of his own existence, Bradley's journey is one of raw emotion and gripping uncertainty.
As his marriage hangs by a thread and his fear of loneliness threatens to consume him, Bradley's world is turned upside down by a shocking diagnosis following a seemingly innocuous bee sting. An otherwise mundane life is rocked by a reality that defies science, and Bradley must confront a mysterious floral deformity that puts his marriage, friendships, and life at risk. Bradley navigates relationships old and new as his life, job, and family change forever.
With a cold Rhode Island winter fast approaching, will he even live to see a cure?
Flower seamlessly transitions between drama and comedy in a slice-of-life style that realistically explores grief. When uncertainty prevails and life hangs in the balance, to what capacity is someone able to forgive, forget, and find meaning in the time they have left? Brandon L Roberts explores these questions (and more) in the first of the three-part anthology series on grief.
