If you read only one book this year, read Blossoming to a Flower—a collection of stories spanning over half a century. It is the perfect read for a quiet, introspective evening or if you simply want to lose yourself. It contains stories about pet dogs and snake bites; stories about dreams; stories about matches made before thirty-five years and after; stories about the demise of loved ones, stories based on imagination and visualization; stories about secretes; stories about positive thinking and beliefs; stories about giving respects; and a love story that started with a job application form.
