A LIFE IN BLOOM follows high school teacher and self-professed travelphobe Kristin Caine’s efforts to help her overbearing dying mother complete a bucket-list. The journey offers physical and emotional adventures, belated mother-daughter bonding, and unexpected romantic feelings for a new female friend, all of which challenge Kristin's preconceived notions of motherhood, love, and what it means to live life fully, one bucket-list checkmark at a time.
