An unforgettable novel about love, grief, and the things we can't outrun -- even when they bloom from within. Bradley Wales was never supposed to be special. He is stuck instead with the title of loyal husband, good father, and forgettable employee. Until the day a bee sting in a Connecticut sunflower field left him with an impossible fate. Now, he is slowly and irreversibly transforming into a sunflower. As petals spread across his skin and roots crawl beneath his bones, Bradley finds himself racing against time to fix his marriage and find closure before succumbing to the inevitable. With a tinge of science fiction and a flair for drama, Flower evolves into a deeply human meditation on family, failure, forgiveness, and what it means to leave behind more than just a body. Blisteringly tender, darkly funny, and devastatingly real, Flower is for anyone who has ever been afraid to be forgotten -- and found a way to bloom anyway.
