The Last Bloom

What if the only way to finally be seen by the family who neglected you was to invite them to your own funeral—while you were still alive to watch? For twenty-five years, Eliza Harrington has been an invisible shadow in her own home, eclipsed by her brother’s golden-child status and crushed by her father’s volatile control. But with a terminal diagnosis ticking down her final days, she is done playing the martyr. What if she could trade her role as the family doormat for the lead in her own wake? What begins as a final, desperate act of defiance against a toxic legacy becomes a breathtaking transformation, proving that when you finally stop living for people who don’t love you, you might just find a reason to actually stay alive.
