Divided into five chapters with Kaur's signature minimalistic illustrations, the reader is guided through a poetic journey through five stages of growth: wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming. The intimate and personal reflections celebrate love through its evolution and in all its forms.

this is the recipe of life
said my mother
as she held me in her arms as i wept
think of those flowers you plant
in the garden each year
they will teach you
that people too
must wilt
fall
root
rise
in order to bloom
