Watching The Bloom is a lyrical journey through love, loss, healing and growth told in heart ramblings that trace the seasons of a life deeply felt. Through seven chapters, this collection from Assata Dela Cruz explores what it means to root into yourself, to love fiercely, to break, to mend and to keep going. Tender yet unflinching, Watching The Bloom is for anyone who has ever loved, lost and found themselves growing anyway. This is a story of becoming, of surrendering to every season and finding beauty in the bloom, the wilt and everything in between.
