THE SECOND BLOOM: A NOVEL

At fifty-five, Danielle Mercer has built a life around being needed.

Wife. Mother. Grandmother. Caregiver. The dependable one. The woman everyone calls when something needs fixing.

Somewhere along the way, Danielle stopped asking one simple question:

What do I want?

An unexpected message, an old notebook, and a forgotten list of dreams begin pulling Danielle back toward the woman she once imagined becoming. What starts with a bouquet of sunflowers grows into something far greater: a garden, a renewed marriage, a community of women, and the courage to believe that dreams do not come with expiration dates.

The Second Bloom is an emotionally rich novel about marriage, family, aging, rediscovery, and what happens when a woman who has spent decades showing up for everyone else finally decides to show up for herself.

Because being buried is not the same as being gone.

Seeds are buried too.
