Blooms Beneath the Surface A Novel

A mother's gaze carries us down and up again-into the lowest rooms of loss and back to the heights we make from it. Spanning Alaska's wilderness, California, and Costa Rica's jungle, this generational story follows Maya as she confronts a charismatic, ruinous father and a daughter whose truth remakes her understanding of love, identity, and the shifting currents of the masculine and feminine. A meditation on inheritance, estrangement, and the quiet magic beneath things, Blooms Beneath the Surface suggests that when the world breaks us open, the story we create can be the bridge to grace.
