Bloom: A Tale of Courage, Surrender and Breaking Through Upper Limits Book

As a free-spirited, independent woman, Bronnie Ware was used to donning a variety of hats: singer, songwriter, author, speaker, traveller, adventurer. And, as her soul would have it, in her mid-forties she felt the urge to add one more: mother. Ware, author of The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, had learned many lessons as a palliative care giver, and she began to absorb even more from the opposite end of the spectrum as a giver of life. When she unexpectedly moved back to her home town, she anticipated feelings of warmth and family, and soon began to settle into a happy norm.
