Una novela deliciosa y conmovedora sobre la familia, el amor, el duelo y una planta de interior precoz que nos recuerda la belleza de vivir la vida en su máximo esplendor. Morris Warner se está marchitando. Después de la repentina muerte de su marido, Fred, se ha aislado del mundo. Nada de ver pelis con amigos, o de nadar en el lago Michigan, prefiere ver episodios de
Jeopardy! y que su gato sea el único testigo de sus respuestas.
La hijastra de Morris, Sloan, siente que no tiene espacio para florecer. Está a punto de casarse con el hombre de sus sueños, si tan solo su madre le deja planear su propia boda y confiar en ella para que construya su vida tras la muerte de su padre.
Jade se está secando. Literalmente. Como planta en la casa de Morris, ella y sus compañeras plantas se han echado a perder poco a poco, hoja a hoja, desde la muerte de Fred y dada la falta de atención de Morris. Necesita trazar un plan para devolver a la vida a su nuevo amo, cueste lo que cueste.

The New York Times, Robbie Couch, es una novela asombrosa donde la familia, el amor, la amabilidad y sí, la madre naturaleza, triunfan.
From the New York Times bestselling author of If I See You Again Tomorrow comes a delightful and heartwarming novel about family, love, grief, and one precocious 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, instead preferring 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 will 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 plant 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.
