When returning to a former company in 2005, Dan wondered if he was taking a step back in his career. Then, he met Dottie--the outspoken woman at the front-desk--and his life changed forever. Despite more than forty years between them, Dan and Dottie struck up an easy friendship, finding they had more in common than they expected. Together, they challenged old ways of thinking, faced their fears, and began a path toward self-actualization. As Dottie's life was coming to an end, the two friends found they had so much more to discover about life, spirituality, and each other.

Written ten years after Dottie's death, When Flowers Bloom is what happens when two people are willing to be vulnerable with each other and open themselves to the possibility of unconditional love. The inter-generational friendship between Dan and Dottie will inspire others to transcend their prejudices and fears, accept our differences, and put intention into words and actions to make the world a safer, more loving place.
