Reviews for Bloom: Finding Beauty in the Unexpected--A Memoir (P.S.)
"Bloom is one of the most emotionally stirring books I've ever read... This story is a reminder that perfect, when it comes to human beings, is such a relative (and irrelevant) term...and that a mother's love for her child is a powerful, eternal, unshakable force."
Ree Drummond, New York Times bestselling author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks "Kelle Hampton...reminds us that life may not always look pretty or perfect, but it is always beautiful... She has indeed made of her life something 'wild and precious' and her book, like her two beautiful girls, is a bundle of joy. I finished it reluctantly and with a full heart."
Claire Fontaine, national bestselling author of Come Back: A Mother and Daughter's Journey Through Hell and Back "In her tender and genuinely beautiful memoir, Kelle Hampton encourages us to not simply accept the unexpected circumstances of our lives, but to embrace them like the things we wished for all along."
Matthew Logelin, New York Times bestselling author of Two Kisses for Maddy "A constitutionally positive person...Hampton makes a convincing argument that grief and disappointment can be transformed into compassion and joy."
People (3 stars) #11 New York Times Bestseller
New York Times A USA Today Bestseller
USA Today "Bloom is not only about a particular young mother working through the place of hurt ...it is about all of us... [A] powerful meditation on loss, perspective, challenge and opportunity. Give it to anyone you know who is hurting."
Fort Myers Florida Weekly "In Bloom, a searing and brave portrait of her baby's first year, Hampton opens up about her fears...jubilation, and...'the throbbing pain of losing what I had expected.' Filled with personal photos from the delivery room through Nella's first birthday, Bloom gives...new meaning to the term 'open book.'"
